“These races are great events that promote healthy activities for families and individuals, and provide a chance to run some of the most beautiful and unique sites in Michigan.  As a matter of fact, we just introduced the Fifth Third Fitness Team, a new business resource group for employees.  The response has been great in not only getting people to attend the race, but to volunteer to help”, Riley concluded.
