NEW HOME

Picture
The Holland Hospital Park2Park ½ Marathon & 5K will call the Ottawa County Fairgrounds home on September 28.  In November, the Ottawa County Fair board agreed to the race team’s proposal to host the race at the fairgrounds. The 2012 Holland Hospital Park2Park attracted 1,792 runners in the race’s 8th
year raising funds for local nonprofit Neighbors Plus. 

“The committee is
very excited about this new partnership with the Ottawa County Fair,” says
Sherrie Kornoelje Santos, Holland Hospital Park2Park Race Director.  “The
race has outgrown the facilities of Harderwyk Ministries even though we were graciously allowed us to use every square inch over the past 8 years,” added Kornoelje Santos.   “It is exciting to have a much larger location that will work well for a new course and allows easier access and parking for runners. We think runners will love it.”   The 2013 race will be held on Saturday, September 28, with the ½ marathon starting at 8 a.m. and the 5K at 8:15 a.m.

Online registration for the event will open on January 8.
