AUBURN HILLS, MI (May 9, 2013) Genisys Credit Union, which provides services to anyone who lives or works in the Lower Peninsula, was recently the premier sponsor for the Let’s Move Festival of Races. This event, representing Macomb County, took place in Mt. Clemens on April 27th.
The premier running event, which attracted 5,000 spectators and nearly 2,000 participants, was inspired by Michelle Obama’s National “Let’s Move” Campaign to combat childhood obesity in America. The festival featured a 5K run, 5K walk, half-marathon, river walk, kid’s festival, children’s last mile run, fitness expo, free zumba class and entertainment, promoting physical fitness to people of all ages.
“This is the third year that the Let’s Move Race has been held in Macomb,” said Tom Gray, Director of the Let’s Move Race. “It is great to see runners from 16 different states travel to here to run along our beautiful waterfront.”
Proceeds from the festival will be returned to the Macomb community through grants that support healthy living education and physical fitness.
“Genisys recognizes and supports the effort to combat childhood obesity,” said Jackie Buchanan, President/CEO. “We are glad to be a part of a festival that brings so many communities together and promotes healthy living.”
