Practice the Brooksie Way Course Sunday

Planning to run or walk the half-marathon or 5K on Sept. 30? Try it out this weekend.

The fifth-annual , but you can try out the course for a practice run or walk on Sunday.

The practice race will begin and end at the Meadow Brook Music Festival, where the real race is set to be held on Sept. 30. 

It's free to participate in the practice race; the course will be marked but the roads will not be closed, so runners and walkers must stick to the bike paths and sidewalks.
