This is a hybrid race. You can run or walk the in-person race, or if you can’t make it you can make this race your own and run your 5K at your own place, your own pace, your own race.

For virtual runners we are extending the window of competition from Monday 8/1/22 to Friday 8/19/22. You can use your GPS to run, walk, or crawl your 1 miler, or race your 5K. Or you can make the scene and enjoy the freedom and rush of real life competition in-person.

The 20th Annual Simsonian is held in memory of beloved Grosse Ile High School teacher and coach Steve Sims who died unexpectedly of a dissecting aortic aneurysm in 2003. All proceeds from the race, virtual or not go to a scholarship given to an outstanding female scholar/athlete at GIHS. more than $42,000 has been awarded throughout the race history.

Come join us for a good time and an even better cause.
