Where do the funds for this event go?
This year we are proud to announce that proceeds will support two wonderful causes — the Frankenmuth Noon Rotary's Helping Hands Fund and, new in 2026, Sleep in Heavenly Peace Saginaw!
The Helping Hands Fund was developed to assist people in our area who are struggling financially and have specific needs (relocation, overdue utility bills, car payments, car repairs, hearing aids, water heaters, and many other requests). We have already distributed over $90,000 to help people to date.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace Saginaw is dedicated to making sure no child sleeps on the floor. Since launching in early 2026, the Saginaw chapter has built and delivered over 800 beds to local children who previously had nowhere to sleep.
You can support both of these causes through your fundraising efforts — and yes, there are still gifts for your fundraising! Click the DONATE tab at the top of the page to contribute.
Can I change my registration from the 100k to the 50k or 25k or vice versa?
Yes – you can do that at registration - the evening before or morning of the event.
Am I able to get a shirt for the event?
Yes – we will have a link on the website for those that wish to order shirts. They will process and ship your shirt AFTER the event. In the past, these shirts have fit true to size.
Will there be food and water on the course?
Yes – the 100k will pass 4 rest area’s, the 50k will pass 3 and the 25k will pass 1. Each will have water, banana’s and snacks available. The furthest rest stop will be in the town of Fairgrove, MI at the Michigan Bean Festival Pavilion: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/PKaG3QmpBUQBRZFy6]
