Run Alongside Detroit's Veterans Day Parade

In celebration of Veterans Day, join us for the 9th Annual 4 Star 4 Mile Race located at the Dean Savage Memorial Park (corner of Trumbull and Porter Street) in Corktown (Detroit, Michigan) on Sunday, November 10th, 2024 at 11:00 AM. This is the only race in the country that runs alongside the Veterans Day Parade, on the same course, at the same time as part of Detroit's Annual Armed Services Salute. Let's put our running shoes on the ground to honor those who have dedicated their lives to our freedom. While this is a heartfelt tribute to those who have served our country, this is a 4 Mile run/walk for everyone!
