About Us

Eastside Racing Company + Move-It Fitness

Those unfamiliar with the backstory of Eastside Racing Company and Move-It Fitness will realize one common thread that connects owners Bob Busquaert, Deanna Skelcy and Mark Skelcy. Their love of running.  This common goal has helped shape the partnership of ERC in 2013 and led to the purchase of Move-It Fitness in 2023 after the sudden passing of founder Geneva Stephens.  Together they form one of the area’s most successful timing and event producing companies serving the running community of Michigan.  Bob, a long serving store manager at Hanson’s Running Shops and Mark and Deanna, former teachers now  head up ERC-MIF along with their awesome crew. 

The trio of partners have competed up through the collegiate level in track and cross country.  All three have run hundreds of road races between them.  They have proven their dedication to the sport through coaching prep teams in the sport.  And all three endeavor to bring their passion, excitement, and expertise to their participants.

Eastside Racing and newly acquired Move-It Fitness aim to bring an enhanced running experience to customers, as runners or race directors.  Their goal is simple, to offer safe, memorable and fun events.  

As we move forward we hope to bring you along with us, be it on the trails or roads.

Whatever your race goals and dreams are we hope you choose us to be part of it.
