RUN, WALK, HAVE FUN, AND SUPPORT WGVU
Made for All. Powered by You.
Join us on the morning of April 24th at Millennium Park for three community-powered events: a 5K Fun Run, a 2-Mile Walk, or a 1-Mile Dog and Kid Run. It's a day built around movement, connection, and supporting WGVU Public Media's mission.
A Message from Shelley:
"I've learned that Public Media isn't just something you do from a studio. It's something you live and breathe in your community. My passion has always been movement and setting goals that keep me energized. Now I get to move with YOU. Come run, walk, bring your dog, bring your kids. Show up, support WGVU, and let's celebrate together. Just say YES!"
Your support directly strengthens West Michigan by helping WGVU deliver:

• Trusted local journalism that keeps our community informed
• Educational programming that helps kids learn and grow
• Cultural content that celebrates the people and stories of our region
• Commercial-free programming accessible to everyone
• When you support WGVU, you're investing in lifelong learning, public-service reporting, arts and culture, and the shared civic well-being of West Michigan.
• And yes, there are perks.

Every participant receives an original design WGVU T-shirt and a commemorative medal, plus access to pre- and post-race refreshments, including a Bloody Mary bar and a charcuterie table that would make any West Michigan foodie proud.
