Freeze Your Franny 5K Walk or Run

Get ready for "Freeze Your Franny" for a good cause! The 5K run/walk returns to Stony Creek Jan. 28. The race benefits the American Cancer Society, and is organized by UEA Staywell Committee.

No matter the weather, the paths will be cleared and salted. Pick up packets and register from 9:45-10:45 a.m. at the Boat Launch/Warming Building. At 11 a.m. the race begins, with the walk starting 5 minutes later. The top three men and women winners will take home awards, and results will be shared on www.runmichigan.com. After the race everyone will warm up with soup coffee and hot chocolate.

New this year is the "Freeze Your Franny Look-Alike Contest" where the three best "look-alikes" will win $20 gift certificates from Hansons.
