CHC is NOT a charity. It is a business. They collect the race fees and also a percentage of the donations that are raised online through their portal. Although they allow charities to raise money for their own causes which is commendable. As a long-time runner -- 30+ years, CHC races are poorly organized and managed (the recent Iron Turkey had some "mishaps".). For those that track their times -- and I do, the BHBH course last year was short by about .2 mile. They are spinning this cancellation. And to schedule the Ann Arbor marathon in mid-June one week after the Dexter/AA run is a slap in the face to existing running events. Did they ask for input from runners when planning the marathon or designing the course? Who wants to run out by Briarwood for the most difficult part of a marathon with no shade?
