IRON MOUNTAIN — The Run Iron Mountain Road and Trail Half Marathon made its largest donation yet to Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet, in the amount of $27,000.

This is the ninth annual donation to the DCCLC, bringing the total donation of $133,500 to the DCCLC

The Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet is a non-profit organization operated by volunteers that assists both cancer and non-cancer patients. The loan closet offers medical equipment at no cost, as well as financial assistance to those in need.

In addition to the donation to the DCCLC, the Run Iron Mountain Half Marathon will again award two $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors graduating in 2022. This scholarship looks for students who have participated in cross country or track and have run in or volunteered at this race or other similar events that promote wellness.

“We would like to thank our volunteers, attendees, and sponsors for making the 2021 Run Iron Mountain Road and Trail Half Marathon a success. Without their support, this donation would not have been possible,” said Joe Smith, Run Iron Mountain president and race director.

Platinum sponsors in 2021 included The Mariucci Family Foundation, Sue Varda-Cattelan, Dr. John Fornetti Dental Center and CCI Systems. A full list of the 2021 sponsors are available at www.runironmountain.com.

The Run Iron Mountain Half Marathon is heading into its 10th year on Oct. 1. The race hopes to partner yet again with the Downtown Iron Mountain Oktoberfest event. More information can be found at www.runironmountain.com.
