4/22/13 - A run and walk in support of those affected by the bombings last Monday at the Boston Marathon will be held Wednesday at Kensington Metropark. Sponsored by The Running Fit store, the event will also serve as a welcome home for those Michigan runners who participated in the event. The Runners for Boston Unity 4.15-mile run/walk is set for 6:30 Wednesday night at the Metroparkâs east boat launch. Participants are encouraged to wear Boston Marathon gear with the blue-and-yellow colors of the marathon, or their favorite race shirt. While the event is free, t-shirts will be available for $20 with all of the proceeds benefitting One Fund Boston Inc., a charity formed by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino to help those most affected by the bombings. For details on Wednesday's run, call 734-929-9027. (JK)
