Celebrating the Decades
Dearborn Decades 5K · August 9, 2026
Step into your favorite decade and kick off a summer morning at Ford Field Park with a fast, friendly 5K that brings the whole community together. Whether you’re chasing a PR on our USATF-certified course or strolling the Gateway Trail in costume with family and friends, this is a race where everyone fits in—and everyone has fun.
Expect smooth logistics, easy parking, great vibes, and an atmosphere that feels like Dearborn at its best. Run hard, dress up, laugh a lot, and make memories that span the decades. After you finish, you’re right next door to Dearborn Homecoming—stick around later in the day to enjoy the festival and keep the good energy going.
