 "Big House Big Heart. What a great event. Michigan football players will tell you nothing is more special than the run down the tunnel and on to the field. Big House Big Heart gives the whole community the chance to experience that feeling. What is even more special about Big House Big Heart is its charitable component. So get out and run or walk, have a Big Heart, and give generously to UofM ALS Research, Mott Children’s Hospital and the charity of your choice." Rich Rodriguez, Head Football Coach, University of Michigan
The race starts and finishes at the University of Michigan’s famous football stadium--The Big House. It is the largest stadium in the country seating over 107,000 spectators. This chip-timed 5K and 10K events start on the corner of Kipke and Green and the run takes you through the University of Michigan’s beautiful campus with a spectacular finish--a run through the Big House tunnel and onto the field. You’ll finish on the 50 yard line and watch yourself on the Big House Big Screen!
