Race Details
This is a timed, out-and-back 5K course on the riverwalk that runs through Milliken State Park. One water station will be provided on the course at the turnaround at approximately the 1-mile mark. Although we love our furry friends at PACE Southeast Michigan, we ask that you please leave your personal pets/dogs at home for the safety and comfort of our runners and volunteers. This event is non-refundable and will occur rain or shine.
Awards
Awards will be provided to the first-place male and female finishers.
