Join the Movement and register today: The 1st Annual Hustle for Homes 5K

Get ready to hustle! Whether you're chasing a personal best or enjoying a morning stroll, help us turn miles into homes and lace up your sneakers for a cause! We are thrilled to announce the First Annual Hustle for Homes, a timed 5K run/walk dedicated to supporting Community & Home Supports (CHS).

Every step you take helps CHS provide essential housing services and stability to those in our community. Whether you're a competitive runner or a casual stroller, come out and move for a mission. Visit chsinc.org to learn more about our mission.

Event Details

  • When: Saturday, July 11th

  • Time: Race starts at 9:00 AM

  • Where: Dequindre Cut Freight Yard, Detroit

Stay for the Fun

The finish line is just the beginning! After the race, stick around to enjoy the best of Detroit’s riverfront district:

  • Relax at the Freight Yard beer & wine garden: We’re requesting an early opening of the beer and wine garden for our participants and guests.

  • Explore Eastern Market: Take a post-race stroll through the historic market.

  • Hit the Riverfront: Enjoy a scenic walk along one of the city's most beautiful landmarks.

  • Dine Local: Refuel at one of the many excellent restaurants just steps away from the course.

Your Impact: Turning Miles into Milestones

When you participate, you aren’t just finishing a race—you’re helping neighbors in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park cross the finish line into stable housing.

Housing is the first step, but stability is the journey: Your contribution ensures no one has to walk that path alone. Funds raised provide more than just a roof; they provide the foundation for a fresh start. Your support directly funds:

  • Essential Documentation: Obtaining IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates.

  • Move-in Costs: Covering fees and deposits that often stand in the way of a new home.

  • Home & Life Essentials

  • Household Necessities: Providing items to turn a house into a home.

  • Daily Support: Funding transportation passes and school supplies.

  • Long-Term Stability: Wraparound Services: We provide counseling and support services to ensure lasting independence.

    Join the Maple City Mile Run Group, DougTheFoodie, and the crew at WindsorEats for a grueling* one-mile journey around the city sidewalks of Windsor.

    *It’s not actually grueling. It’s 1,600 meters of pure Cinco de Mayo joy.

    The Swag Situation: Look, we’re going to be honest with you. There are no medals at the finish line. There are no ribbons. If you want a piece of shiny plastic to hang on your wall, this isn't the race for you.

    Instead, every participant will be "Crowned" with an exclusive, commemorative Margarita Mile Demi-Buff. It’s breathable, it’s branded, and it’s the only acceptable headwear for a person currently hunting for a taco.

    The Post-Race Ritual: Once you’ve conquered the sidewalk, we’re heading straight to the source. WindsorEats will have the cold Margaritas flowing and the Tacos steaming (available for purchase).

    Date: May 3rd (Cinco de Mayo!) Location: WindsorEats, Windsor, ON.

    NOTE; THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT. NONE TRANSFERABLE AND NONE REFUNDABLE.

    Building on the beloved tradition of Michigan Humane’s annual Mutt March, we’re embarking on a new chapter that celebrates the powerful bond between people and their pets, and the many ways they inspire us to live with greater joy, compassion, and connection. We invite you to join us for the celebration at Corktown’s Roosevelt Park and the iconic Michigan Central Station. There’s something for everyone! The new 5K run will take you from Roosevelt Park through Southwest Detroit, a jaunt through Ralph C. Wilson Park, returning to Michigan Central Station on the Southwest Detroit Greenway – and you can register your dog to run with you! The event also features the 1-mile Mutt March fundraising walk, the Mike Morse Law Firm Meet Your Best Friend event with nearly 100 animals up for adoption, field games and contests for dogs, food trucks, a beer garden, live music, and more!
