Runaway Bride 5K On August 14th

The Runaway Bride 5K run and 2 mile walk is coming up on Saturday, August 14th at the Double Tree by Hilton in Port Huron. This is one of the most unique runs in the area with participants dressed in wedding themed attire to raise money for A Beautiful Me.

Registration is now open for runners and walkers at ABeautifulMe.com, and raffle tickets are also on sale for a week-long condo vacation for 6 on Hilton Head Island.

Karen Palka, A Beautiful Me’s Founder and Executive Director, said, “Our beloved ‘Ruby the Runner’ has been seen around town with a new friend named ‘Wally the Walker. A mock wedding is held at the start of our fun run and each year Ruby has run from her groom – as she had cold feet. We will patiently wait to see if Ruby will take Wally’s hand in marriage this year – or run to start the race.”

All proceeds from The Runaway Bride benefit girls in the community by providing confidence-building programs and workshops.
