What time do the events begin on race day?
The Half Marathon, 5K and Fun Run begin at 8:00 a.m. Start times will be staggered slightly to allow for the half marathon runners to begin first.
Where are the start and finish lines for the races?
Half Marathon, 5K and Fun Run events start and end on the campus of Oakland University at Meadowbrook Music Festival.
How can I get information on the race course?
Visit the Course Maps page.
May I walk in either event?
Walkers are welcome in all events.
How can I register?
Online registration is available along with downloadable race print applications that you may fill-out and mail in.
Will I require my own race chip?
Gault Race Management is timing the Brooksie Way races. Your timing device is embedded in your bib. Your running times for the half marathon and 5K races will be available in the post-race area immediately after you finish, and they will be available online after the race for you to access.
How will I pick up my runner packet and bib?
Brooksie Way packet pick-up will take place on Friday and Saturday before race day at the Fitness Expo held on the campus of Oakland University at the Recreation Center. It is highly recommended you pick up your race packet at this time. If you wait until race morning, there will be long lines and this may affect your starting on time!
How can I become a volunteer for the Brooksie Way?
Hundreds of volunteers will be working throughout the summer to plan for the races and on race weekend doing everything from traffic control to water station duty. If you would like to become a volunteer, visit the Volunteer page to sign-up as an individual or group.
