Set the PACE 5K -Shelby Township, MI

Set the PACE 5K -Shelby Township, MI takes place in Detroit, Michigan, on October 25, 2026. The 5K run covers 3.1 miles and starts at 9:00 a.m., with a separate 5K walk setting off five minutes later, and the route runs through Milliken State Park along the Detroit Riverwalk.

Splitting the runners and walkers into two starts is a small detail that makes a real difference, since it keeps the opening half mile clear for anyone racing. Waterfront pavement is usually flat and fast, so this is a sensible place to test 5K pace late in the season, with one water station on course. Registered participants get a race shirt, a bib, and a finisher medal, and awards go to the leading runners across several categories. The event supports PACE Southeast Michigan and its work helping older adults live safely and independently.
