WHO WE ARE:

Alan Whitehead founded the Solstice Run event in 2003 and created Solstice Group Inc. as a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization. Our event has formed a partnership with Foresters as our presenting sponsor and sponsor of the Kids Fun Run, Target is the sponsor of our new 10 Mile event, and the Karmanos Cancer Institute is sponsoring a fundraiser in the 5K Run/Walk.

We are donating net proceeds from this event to benefit local charitable and non-profit organizations like the Karmanos Cancer Institute, Northville Parks & Rec Dept., Kids against Hunger and Athletes with Disabilities Network.

GOALS OF OUR ORGANIZATION: 

  • Establish a new athletic tradition and festive community event promoting fitness held in both downtown Northville & Northville Twp
  • Recognized as a "world class" race with a top entertainment venue becoming a "Top 10 Road Race in Michigan" and family attraction in conjunction with the Arts & Acts event in Northville, MI
  • Event net proceeds donated to local non-profit & charitable organizations
  • Event attended by wide range of participants of all fitness levels and spectators from surrounding Metro-Detroit area communities
