The Giant Slayer Michigan 5K & Fun Run

Whether you’re in it to compete or just to get outside, your registration fee will benefit Children’s Relief International’s sponsorship program. The program serves children and teenagers who attend our Grace & Knowledge Academy in Nigeria. $500 is all it takes to provide education for a year for one student. Learn more here. 

Pre-registration includes a race t-shirt. Register by May 24, 2024 to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
