Dearborn Decades 5K – August 2, 2026


Kick off August racing in Southeast Michigan with the Dearborn Decades 5K, a fast, fun, USATF-certified race at Ford Field Park. Taking place August 2, 2026, this community-favorite 5K welcomes runners and walkers of all paces, families with strollers, and anyone who loves a good theme. Whether you’re chasing a new PR, gearing up for fall racing, or dressing for your favorite decade, Dearborn Decades brings together everything people love about a great 5K—speed, community, nostalgia, and a course built for every type of runner.

About the Race

Dearborn Decades 5K blends blends speed, energy, and personality. Athletes love the USATF-certified course, easy logistics, and the welcoming vibe that makes this one of the most popular summer 5Ks in Southeast Michigan.

After you finish, stick around and enjoy the start of Dearborn Homecoming, which begins just after most participants have wrapped up their morning.
