Football training techniques are weaved into a 5K running course for a uniquely challenging experience. No prior football knowledge or experience is needed.  Obstacles may include:  agility ladder station, bag shuffling drill, and the finishing line scramble featuring Tidal Wave Players!  This 5k will be held on Calvin University's cross country course.  Proceeds benefit the Grand Rapids Tidal Waves*, a women’s professional tackle football team which offers women in West Michigan the opportunity to play post-high school football.
