Registration is now open for the Sept. 29 race.
For runners and walkers looking for something shorter than a half-marathon but longer than a 5K, the Brooksie Way has added a 10K course this year. And if you register for any of the Sept. 29 race events now, you'll save up to $30 in registration fees. In its sixth year, the Brooksie is one of the most popular annual events of the fall in Oakland County. It begins and ends at Meadow Brook Music Festival on the campus of Oakland University and winds through the wooded trails and hilly roads of Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township. The 10K course is awaiting certification, but it will overlap part of the course for the half-marathon, race organizers said. Before April 1, registration is $45 for the half-marathon; $30 for the 10K …

For three hours on Sunday morning, northern Rochester Hills transformed into a race course as 4,500 runners and walkers braved the trails and hills of the Brooksie Way. And along with the runners were hundreds of well wishers scattered along the 13.1-mile race route. Crowds included residents along the route, students, church groups, Rochester Lions Club members and other organizations. Some spectators held up signs, many cheered, and a few, including the Adams High School Marching Band, even serenaded runners with live music. It was the fifth year for Oakland County's scenic half marathon and 5K event. Shane Logan, 34, of Clarkston won the half-marathon event with a time of 1:13:15. Logan won the race last year, too.

Clarkston resident Shane Logan, 34, won the Brooksie Way Half Marathon Sunday for the second year in a row.
Oops, he did it again. Shane Logan, 34, of Clarkston won the Brooksie Way Half Marathon for the second year in a row with a time of 1:13:15. The seasoned runner grabbed the lead before even rounding the first corner onto Walton Boulevard, and he never let it go. Finishing more than a full minute before any other runner, he still didn't beat his winning time of 1:11:59 from last year, though he seemed satisfied with his performance. "I'll be a little sore tomorrow," he joked. "I ran too much this summer, kind of got my butt kicked this whole summer, but it's alright. Good way to end it now."
