Ypsilanti Township will host a family-friendly fun run and food truck rally Oct. 5 to showcase amenities on the north side of the township. The event starts with a Divot Dash 5K over the Green Oaks Golf Course at 1775 E. Clark Rd. starting at 8 a.m., followed by Food Truck Warz, highlighting four local food vendors, from noon to 4 p.m.
“We do a lot at Ford Lake Park and on the south side of the township, but we also have this beautiful golf course and a community center,” says Ypsi Township Recreation Manager Josh Kugler. “It’s a chance to highlight those, and maybe if people don’t know where the community center was they’ll get more exposure to what the township has to offer.”
The 5K is a timed event, but walkers and runners of all ages are invited to take part in an all-terrain race over the golf course. A local coffee vendor, Tom’s Coffee, will set up during the race. The township will host an after-party for participants, who are also invited to stay for the food truck rally…
