The Brian Diemer Family of Races is excited to announce that we are adding two new races in 2024! The LMCU Bridge Run and The Cross Country Team Challenge, previously part of the RunGR racing series, will be joining “The Family!”

The LMCU Bridge Run has been a staple of the running community. Taking place on the second Sunday after Labor Day since 2002, it features both a 5K and a 10 Mile. The Cross Country Team Challenge provides the community an opportunity to experience a 5K cross country meet, high school team style, each summer. RunGR will continue to play an important role in these events as the official pacing and training partner as well as aid station host. Energized by the Brian Diemer Family of Races team, Rob Hyde and Kyle Cutler will continue to direct both of these races with the same venues and routes.

This coming year’s “Family of Events” will start in Cutlerville on June 8. This annual family event features the Diemer Run 5K, the CareLinc Mobility 5K and the Auto Masters Kids Steeplechase & Junior Jog.

We are excited to bring these race opportunities to the community. We hope to see you at the starting lines in 2024!

Respectfully,
Brian Diemer
