Delta Tau Lambda Sorority, Inc., is hosting the Annual Cinco de Mile 5k Fun Run for Mental Health Awareness. This RUN/WALK route starts at 9:00 am at Patton Park on Saturday May 2nd in the heart of the Cinco de Mayo celebrations in Southwest Detroit. Participants receive a T-shirt in Mexican colors in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo holiday, and a registration bag full of promotions and resources. Pets are welcome to join the fun!

Packet pickup is on Race Day at the PATTON PARK registration booth starting at 8:00 a.m.

A portion of the proceeds will help local mental health programs in Metro Detroit.

Join us and help show your support for those who have faced and overcome traumatic injuries and share your encouragement for those still fighting!

We welcome you for a scenic run/walk or roll that celebrates the courage and strength of individuals who have faced and overcome traumatic injuries. This event takes place on the beautiful Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan and offers a unique opportunity for survivors, family members, and healthcare providers to reconnect. Participants will take in the stunning views of the Detroit River, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Belle Isle, and celebrate their amazing accomplishments along the way.

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!
