We are rock and rolling on day 2 of our Rock CF Rivers Half Marathon packet pickup here at RUNdetroit! Here from 10am-6:30pm🤘

Join us for Why We Run: Rock CF Rivers Expo Panel taking place during our expo day at the Grosse Ile Middle School. Be inspired by three members of the cystic fibrosis community discussing their running journeys & what it takes to adapt to the realities of CF.

The panel will begin at 1:00pm on Saturday, March 16th at the GIMS with an ON group demo shakeout run to follow at 1:45pm. The first 50 people at the panel will receive a custom Rock CF tote bag, pictured here! See you this weekend⚡️

Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with this year's 13th Rock CF Rivers Half Marathon! The Half Marathon will be starting and finishing at the Grosse Ile Middle School, while the 5K is a point-to-point style race starting from the Grosse Ile Naval Hangar and ending at the Grosse Ile Middle School.

Below you can find a parking map for the 5K. Entering the parking area via Meridian Rd to Intrepid, follow the instructions of the parking crew as they will direct you to the next closest, safest parking spot. If there happens to be inclement weather leading into race weekend, there will be an on-site tow truck in the case of any stuck cars (please follow the parking volunteer team instructions to avoid this from happening).

Once parked, walked south towards the Hangar. If you need to pick up your 5K race packet on race morning, it will be located in the Grosee Ile Pilot House next door to the Hangar complex. From there, you can walk directly to the 5K starting line behind the Hangar.

If you parked in these lots but are doing the Half Marathon, please make your way to the shuttle pick up/drop-off area to make your way to your appropriate starting line.

See you soon! More info can be found at our race website: https://letsrockcf.org/rock-cf-half
