About the 17th Annual Central Michigan HIV/AIDS 5k
The route runs through Island Park in Mount Pleasant, which keeps the terrain flat and the surroundings green. The race is tied to a specific cause, HIV/AIDS awareness and support within the local community, so the morning carries a tone of remembrance alongside the running. Proceeds go directly to programs serving people living with HIV/AIDS in the area.
