Macomb Twp. 5K Raises $20,000 for Macomb County's Homeless Students
Organizers of Run the Plank, Macomb Township's first 5K race, presented a check for $20,000 to the MISD Homeless Education Project Aug. 20.
It was with tears and a great deal of thanks that the Macomb Intermediate School District’s Homeless Education Liaison accepted a check for $20,000 from the organizers of Macomb Township’s first 5K race Monday. “That’s amazing,” said Kathy Kropf after getting her first glimpse of the five-digit check. “It is the biggest check we have ever received.” The check was a combination of donations and proceeds raised by “Run the Plank: 3 Miles of Faith,” the first community-wide event hosted by Macomb Township’s three churches – Immanuel Lutheran Church, St. Isidore Catholic Church and St. Peter Lutheran Church.

More than 900 runners and walkers participated in Macomb Township's first 5K Saturday, June 30, racing north on Romeo Plank Road from 21 Mile to 24 Mile Road.
Even before the first runners left the starting line, Run the Plank organizers proclaimed Macomb Township's first 5K an unprecedented success.

Run the Plank Race Organizers Hope for Last-Minute Registration Surge
The first race and fund-raiser of its kind in Macomb Township, "Run the Plank" will also collect used shoes for Souls4Soles and use registration fees to benefit Macomb County's homeless education project.
With less than three weeks to race day, organizers of Macomb Township's Run the Plank 5K have registered just over 200 participants for the June 30 event. Because the event is only in its first year, organizers had set the event's registration cap at 1,500 runners, but are now hoping for 500 by race day. "We are wanting 500 registrants and we believe we will hit that," said said Greg Griffith, Immanuel Lutheran associate pastor, adding that organizers are expecting a surge in the final weeks. "We have noticed a huge uptick in the last few days!" Hosted by Immanuel Lutheran Church, St. Isidore Catholic Church and St. Peter Lutheran Church, this community-wide run/walk is the first of its kind in Macomb and the first event on which the three…
