Hamtramck Health Hike - 5K

Join the Hamtramck Drug Free Community Coalition (HDFCC), a program of the Piast Institute, for its 16th Annual Hamtramck Health Hike.

This FREE 5K run/walk taking place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Starting and ending at Zussman Park in front of Hamtramck City Hall (3401 Evaline St.), this community event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels. However you choose to do the 5K (a run, jog, or walk), the Hamtramck Health Hike offers a fun, family-friendly way to get active and explore the city streets of Hamtramck.

The 5K will be officially timed, and participants will be able to look up their bib number online to see their race results and compare times within their age group. 

Be a part of the first 400 people to register and attend to get free giveaways! Whether it rains or shines, participants will have the chance to learn more about healthy, drug-free lifestyles and partake in activities at the park afterwards.
 

HDFCC was founded by the Piast Institute in 2007 to address issues of substance abuse among Hamtramck youth. Its members have worked year-round with community leaders to help tackle substance abuse disorders of alcohol, tobacco, opioids and marijuana through prevention activities. Lara Girdwood is the Executive Director of HDFCC and Shannon Schafer is the HDFCC Director.
