About the Pave the Way
Pave the Way is held at Stony Creek Metropark, a large county park with trails and open land on the northeast side of Shelby Township. The race supports Grace Centers of Hope, an organization that works with people rebuilding their lives, and that mission runs through the whole morning. Several distance options mean runners at different points in their training tend to show up together.
