VIRTUAL Run Challenge Tom Kendziorski, The Arc of Oakland County's Executive Director, hung up his running shoes a few years ago and passed the baton to Kevin Knoblock, a Special Education Teacher, who has continued in the tradition of running and raising money for The Arc of Oakland County! We are grateful for Kevin's enthusiasm to continue our Annual Run Challenge! The 2020 Brooksie Way Half Marathon will be a VIRTUAL race this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will take place on Sunday, September 27. Go outside & join us! Run any distance on the same day as the race and post your picture on our Facebook page! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!  Please consider pledging a donation to The Arc of Oakland County to support programs and services for children and adults with disabilities in our community.
