A popular road race is returning to Grand Rapids this weekend.
On Sunday, September 14 — the second Sunday after Labor Day, as is tradition —the LMCU Bridge Run will give runners the opportunity to cross multiple bridges on the Grand River via a 10-mile run or a 5K run/walk.
The race will begin at 8:00 a.m. and participants for both distances will start and finish at 731 Front Ave NW, Grand Rapids, 49504.
While the 5K run/walk will work its way through downtown, crossing the Sixth Street Bridge, Blue Bridge, Gillett Bridge and Bridge Street Bridge in the process, the 10-mile run will chart a similar course before branching off toward Riverside Park and back.
All participants will receive a medal and a commemorative t-shirt.
