About the event

We are excited to announce the 10th annual Franciscan Rhythms Trail Run on October 5th. Over the last ten years this race has benefited our music therapy program. This year we’re expanding our fundraising efforts to include our restorative land projects at the Lowell campus. Over the years, having access to the land has contributed greatly to our music therapy sessions. The healthy, diverse ecologies and peaceful, vibrant atmosphere of our campus provides a safe space for our clients to grow. 
The Franciscan Rhythms Trail Run allows participants to experience a variety of our restorative projects on our 230-acre campus. As they enjoy the course, they will be engulfed in deciduous woodland, pine forest, and our prairie restored to contain all native Michigan plants. Participants will pass a rain garden that creates space for wetland species. Visitors have spotted many beautiful birds, insects, and woodland animals; even an adventurous beaver!  
As always, there will be live music along the trails, fresh-baked goods made by the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, and some other special treats to celebrate this 10th anniversary milestone. It is an event that the whole family can enjoy, and we hope you will support and join us!  Our fundraising goal for this year is $30,000 which will ensure that we can provide Music Therapy access for all.
