Shelby Residents Run Across the Border for Brooksie Way Race

There's a reason the Brooksie Way half-marathon attracts thousands of runners to the course that was named among the nation's most scenic. 

From the wooded, gravel hills of Dutton Road to the bustle of downtown Rochester to the fall colors along the Paint Creek Trail, more than 4,200 runners and walkers, including several Shelby Township and Utica residents disregarded the cold to enjoy (or endure) the race. Another 1,000 walked or ran in the 5K around Oakland University, and still more participated in a 1-mile fun run.
