We are proud to support as many charitable causes as part of our mission to help improve people's lives in any way possible. Our charitable donations strategy is to work closely with the permit agencies (municipal, state or private party) and ask them what organizations need financial support for their non-profit activities. A core part of our business mission is to try and help make the world a better place for all people.

We have donated to numerous organizations, including local fire departments, townships, conservation organizations, human relief organizations and most importantly, to organizations that help children in need. After we make sure that our commitments to local organizations are met or exceeded, our favorite national organization is Turnaround Arts. Turnaround Arts works to ensure that every child in America has access to an education rich in the arts. We are happy to contribute as much as possible to Turnaround Arts.

The half marathon course is two loops of a 5.25 generally flat course on immaculate asphalt without any potholes. The 5.25 mile loop contains a spur out and back at mile 4.25 that adds enough distance to make each loop 6.55 miles.

The 10k follows the same loop does the same loop as the half marathon with a shorter out and back spur to get 6.2 miles in one loop.
