5k Indoor Run Virtual Walk

Join us our annual Hustle for Hope 5K and be part of a movement that is changing lives around the world. Every step, stride, and roll supports Hope for HIE, a global nonprofit patient advocacy and support organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families affected by neonatal and pediatric Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. Through awareness, advocacy, education, research, and direct support, Hope for HIE is building a stronger future for our community. Click here to learn more about Hope for HIE.

We are offering two ways to Hustle again this year: join us virtually from wherever you are, or take part in one of our in-person events hosted by a community volunteer. By providing multiple formats, we ensure our global community can participate in a way that is flexible, accessible, and inclusive. Choose a date, time, and location that works for you and complete your 5K indoors or outdoors by walking, running, or rolling — or gather with others at a hosted event and feel the power of community in action.

However you choose to Hustle, know that you are fueling hope, advancing research, and standing alongside families who need it most.

    Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem Trail Race

    Run trails by daylight, race again under the stars. On Saturday, April 11, 2026, Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem returns to Proud Lake State Recreation Area in Commerce Township, Michigan. This unique trail race offers a chance to experience the same course in two very different ways: By sunlight in the morning and by headlamp at night.

    Choose from a Half Marathon or 10K in the morning, evening, or both. Morning races take place fully in daylight, while evening races start just before sunset and many finish after dark—making this one of Michigan’s most exciting night races. Runners who take on the Double will earn two gorgeous medals that magnetically connect into one epic keepsake.

    The trails at Proud Lake are wide, runnable, and beginner-friendly, with a few sections of roots. If it rains, expect classic Michigan Spring mud to keep things interesting. Courses are extremely well-marked with turn signs at every intersection and confidence markers every tenth of a mile, so you can focus on your run instead of your navigation.

    Beyond the races themselves, Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem is built around community. Between the morning and evening events, athletes are invited to stick around for a full-day trail hangout, complete with hot food, a community potluck, lawn games, and plenty of time to relax with fellow runners.

    Why Run Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem?

    • Unique Format: Experience trails in both daylight and nighttime conditions on the same day.

    • Flexible Distances: Morning or evening Half Marathon and 10K options—or take on the Double for the ultimate challenge. Half + Half or Half + 10K

    • Memorable Medals: Earn a gorgeous Diem or Noctem medal—or run both and receive a two-piece, magnetic medal set.

    • Premium Swag: Every participant gets a soft, comfortable spring race hoodie with regular registration. Or save some cash - skip the swag and just race with Economy Registration.

    • Community Vibe: Enjoy hot food, a potluck, and games with your trail family between races.

    • Well-Marked Trails: Wide, runnable courses with turn signs and confidence markers every 0.1 mile.

    • Night Running Adventure: Evening races begin at 7:00 pm—bring a headlamp or flashlight and experience the thrill of running through the woods after dark.
