Northville Says Aloha to Kona Run This Weekend
The annual Kona Run was formerly known as the Solstice Run.
The 11th annual Kona Run comes to Northville Saturday.
It's the new name for what was formerly known as the Solstice Run. Northville will "discover the Polynesian culture of Hawaii" during the Kona Run.
The run is presented by St. Mary Mercy Livonia Hospital, and donations will benefit local groups like the Northville Educational Foundation and Northville Parks and Recreation.
