4th Annual Santa Scamper (5K) Fun Run @ Eastwood Beach – Stony Creek Metropark
We're hoping you can dust off your running shoes, put the Thanksgiving leftovers down, grab a Santa hat and join us in raising money to bring joy to children touched by cancer. Inspired by Ella Tosch who lost her battle in September of 2015 but adored this time of year, we'll be loading up our own sleigh with toys and paying Children's Hospital and The Ronald McDonald House of Detroit another visit just in time for Christmas. We're sure Santa won't mind the extra help! Registration for the 5K is $25 but everyone is welcome. Feel free to walk, run, trot, jog or scamper. We'll have a route mapped out so you don't risk running into the abominable snowman off the main path.
#OptOutside Hike
Will you go out with us? Walk off that turkey and join us to take part in the growing movement to skip the shopping and spend Black Friday in nature. Just as REI intended in 2017 when they began closing their doors on the biggest shopping day of the year, the Metroparks want to help you reconnect outdoors over the holidays. Come and spend some time on a guided hike on half mile of our trails. All ages.
