Kettering University’s Atwood Stadium Races have a long history in Flint.

Previously, the races were known as the Tuuri, which began in 1979. In 2011, the Tuuri became the Atwood Stadium Races, which kept many of the beloved elements of the Tuuri course and the fact that runners could do the “duo” – run both the 5K and 10K. The course starts and finishes at the historic Atwood Stadium.

In 2018, the races were taken over by Kettering University. Another unique element was added to the course — a lap around Kettering University’s Mobility Research Center, an autonomous vehicle lab and proving ground.
