Unique Race Souvenirs

I'm pleased to announce that this year's Rubber Ducky 5k will include a very unique give away. Instead of the same old t-shirts that you get at every race, we've ordered some very impressive embroidered race visors. Check them out and let us know what you think!




Also, we've changed the prizes this year. Instead of medals and trophies, we're giving away gift certificates to local restaurants and stores here in Bellaire. Stick around after the race and enjoy the Rubber Ducky Festival!

2010 Registration is Underway!

Our 3rd annual Rubber Ducky 5k is ready to go!

We'll feature the same incredible course through hilly northern Michigan through the neighborhoods surrounding Schuss Mt. and Shanty Creek resorts. The first 150 registrations in this year's race will receive hats! What a deal!

Registration is available day of, or by following the following link on the right side of this page under "RACE REGISTRATION."

We hope to see you there! Runners, walkers, dogs, and strollers are welcome.

2008 Rubber Ducky 5k Results

Great Run!!

Way to go runners! It was a beautiful morning for a run and I'm thoroughly pleased with all the results. It seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves in this inaugural Rubber Ducky 5k, sponsored by Church in the Hills. Thank you to all our runners for their participation, but especially thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped with timing, set-up, registration, pictures, cheering, and supporting. It went smoothly and will become a great tradition for the Rubber Ducky festival and the Church in the Hills congregational life.

Here are the results. Pictures will be added throughout the week. If you would like to submit any pictures, please e-mail me at rubberducky5k@hotmail.com.

Thanks again and we'll see you next year!

Peace and grace,

Pastor Andrew Pomerville
