    A run to benefit Michigan veterans and their families.

    White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is and remains a beautiful race setting. The course winds through serene American flag-lined private boulevards and past stirring monuments dedicated to veterans and service members from conflicts as far back as WWI. There is a distance to suit any runner or walker from a 1 Mile Walk, 5K and 10K set on a flat and fast course.

    Since it began in 2016, The White Chapel Patriots Race has been a charity fundraiser through partnership with the Michigan Wounded & Returning Warriors Program, part of the American Legion family of organizations.

    Join us to help support Michigan veterans and their families.
