As a way to show solidarity with the victims of the attack at the Boston Marathon last week, the University of Michigan’s Sikh Student Association is planning a one-mile run starting on the U-M campus on Friday, April 26.
The run will begin at 7 p.m., following a short prayer, or “ardass,” by Sikh students near the block M on the Diag. The route is planned to start and end there and includes several streets around campus.
Although Sikh students are organizing the event, anyone is invited to run or attend as a spectator, said Harleen Kaur, the president of the SSA.
Similar tribute runs and mini-marathons have been scheduled around the country since the attack, including in the Ann Arbor area. One was held last Saturday in the campus area.
For more information on the run, contact Kaur at harleen@umich.edu.
