The fourth annual Goodison Good Tyme and Curamus Terram 5K and half-marathon races will be Sept. 23, and a 10K race has been added to this year’s events.
The Paint Creek United Methodist Church will have a flea market, along with book and bake sales. It’s also cider season, and there are two local mills open.
Free activities are scheduled at Bear Creek Nature Park, including musical entertainment by the Paint Creek Folklore Society, nature crafts by Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve, and Oakland County Mobile Recreation’s climbing tower and inflatable obstacle course.
Kooky Karlya’s balloon sculptures and face painting will also be offered, along with a Michigan Geocaching workshop.
Volunteers are still needed in many areas, including along race routes to hand out water to runners, and at the day’s end for clean-up efforts.
This is a good opportunity for scout troops and honor society students needing community service hours.
All volunteers will be provided with breakfast, lunch and a race shirt. To volunteer, call (248) 651-7810.
