Northwestern Michigan College business students are teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan and NMC College for Kids to give you an opportunity to help a child in need. This year donations will be helping “Littles” to attend NMC College for Kids summer programs. The Big Little Hero Race is taking place April 23 on the beautiful NMC campus.  We are looking for community members, local businesses, avid runners, and anyone seeking fun family events to join us, and be a hero for at risk children. 

Both races will start at the West Hall Innovation Center on the NMC main campus, and feature routes that allow runners to take in the picturesque views along East Bay.  Awards will be given for top overall male and female. Held just a month before the popular Bayshore Marathon, this is a great opportunity to gauge how your training is going.

Aside from the fun run, there will be many other family friendly events.  We encourage everyone to join us after the race for food and fun.  The best part of the day will be seeing all of the creative super hero costumes, so don’t forget to come dressed as your favorite.  Prizes will be given for best adult male, female and companion costumes, as well as prizes for best child costume, both boy and girl.
