Run or walk 3.14 Miles.... Pi for Pi DAY!

March 14 is Pi Day, a day for "constant" celebration as the date on which the mathematical symbol π can be showcased oh so many ways. Such an EPIC date deserves recognition beyond the realm of math… and that's where we come in!

Epic Races, Michigan's premier endurance and multisport race event company, proudly presents Run 3.14 Pi, Michigan's Original Pi Run, and the race that celebrates this circle-related number … and the circular edible it brings to mind. On March 14, join us in person for a fun-filled 3.14-mile run or walk on our specially designed circular course!

Participants will gather at the beautiful Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan to tackle the 3.14-mile loop together, creating an unforgettable Pi Day experience. After crossing the finish line, celebrate with fellow runners while enjoying complimentary pie and refreshments at our post-race party! Every participant receives a commemorative Pi Run shirt and finisher medal!

The Ride for Recovery is a family-friendly fitness event hosted by Dawn Farm to raise critical funds for long-term addiction treatment. Whether you're an avid cyclist, a casual rider, or prefer to run or walk, there’s a way for everyone to participate! Choose from multiple bike routes, a 5K or 10K run/walk/ride, or join us virtually from wherever you are.

Thanks to the incredible support of participants like you, the 2025 Ride for Recovery raised more than $20,000, with a very generous donor matching those funds dollar for dollar. Let’s make this year even more successful! After the ride, we’ll have a celebratory lunch at the Community Barn.

Kick off the biking season with us and be part of something that changes lives—supporting recovery and hope for those in need.

Note: The registration form includes a gender question (M or F), but this is completely optional—feel free to skip it.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️💙

MIOCA is proud to present our annual Mother’s Day Time to Teal Run/Walk on Sunday, May 10, 2026!

Gather your family and friends for this special Mother’s Day tradition that brings people together to celebrate the incredible women in our lives​, while ​raising crucial ovarian cancer awareness in our community

Both the 5K and one-mile Fun Run/Walk ​invites participants of all ages and abilities​!

​

The fun includes:

• Chip-timed 5K bibs

• Awesome swag you’ll love

• Courses that welcome runners, walkers, and strollers

• ​Awards for top finishers and fundraising prizes

• A joyful, supportive atmosphere honoring the amazing women in our lives

The Time to Teal Run/Walk was inspired by MIOCA co-founder Pam Dahlmann, who sought a meaningful way to honor her mother​'s memory, Geri Fournier​, on Mother’s Day. We are honored to continue this tradition in her name.

Each year, this event brings together mothers, daughters, families, and friends to reflect, remember, and celebrate together while recognizing the impact ovarian cancer has had on so many lives.

Please note: due to anticipated construction, there is a location change for the 2026 Time to Teal Run/Walk. The event will be held at Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, MI.

All proceeds from this race benefit the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance.

The Humane Society of Huron Valley's Annual Walk & Wag and Run: a dog walk, run, and all-around-fun day! Have friends and family sponsor you, bring your dog and have a ball. At 9:00 a.m., the 5K run starts, and you can stroll the 1-mile fun walk at anytime during the event if you wish!

Walk, wag and run to save animals! Every dollar you raise for Walk & Wag assists in the rescue, care and start of a new life for the most vulnerable animals right here, in our community.

And Walk & Wag is great fun! With activities for dogs and their people, we'll celebrate your fun-draising with a pup party to remember!
