A2: Huron River Runs

By

Writing on the Huron River Watershed Council blog, Elizabeth Riggs notes a connection between running and the Huron River: “Nick Willis, the 1,500 meter silver-medalist in 2008 Beijing Olympics representing New Zealand, lives, trains, and coaches in Ann Arbor. When he recently shared his Favorite Running Spots in town via Facebook, we couldn’t help but notice that the Huron River and its tributaries figure prominently in the list.” Locations include trails from Leslie Science Center to North Park (Traver Creek) and the dirt roads behind Barton Hills (Huron River), among many others. Willis will be competing in the 1,500 meter race at the 2012 Olympics in London. [Source]
