20th Annual Brian Diemer Amerikam 5k Race

Brian Diemer Amerikam 5k Race Celebrates 20th Annual, June 13, 2009 in Grand Rapids

The Brian Diemer Amerikam 5k Race has been a staple in the West Michigan running community and beyond for 20 years and has continually gained momentum.

The 5k began in the late 1980’s in Wyoming, Michigan, with the team up of Brian Diemer, a 1984 Olympic Bronze Medalist, and Amerikam. Amerikam is a Wyoming-based corporation designing, developing and manufacturering valves, industrial fittings, precision machined components and assembled products. Brian Diemer and Amerikam have maintained their strong partnership for over twenty years – even as the race changed venue and season of the year.

“As we look back at the past twenty years, we are very thankful for the success of this Race, growing from just a couple hundred runners to over 1800 runners competing in the 2008 5k Run/Walk, and over 300 children enjoying the Legacy Christian Jr. Jog,” reflects Rob Hyde, race director. “We invite you to join us at the 20th Annual Brian Diemer Amerikam 5k Race on June 13, at 9:00 a.m., in Cutlerville, Michigan. Come for the run - but stay for all the fun of Cutlerville Days.”
