This is how you Traverse Michigan. With cutting edge technology, tons of cargo space, and advanced safety features, Chevy Traverse is your key to unlocking the mitten state.
The year of 2015 has flown by, and we are already just a little more than a week away from Thanksgiving. In addition to displays of holiday spirit, holiday-themed runs are another common occurrence during this time of year. Whether you are an avid runner or looking to try something new, keep the following festive events in mind.

This run takes place Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Wyandotte Boat Club. The USA Track and Field–certified event has a 10K run (8:45 a.m.), 5K run/walk (9:00a.m.) and a quarter of a mile-long Little Reindeer Run for children (8:30 a.m.). The race runs through the streets of Downtown Wyandotte just before the Christmas parade, which starts at 10 a.m. Registration is available online along with the course map.
