About this race
10K • 5K • 1 Mile • 200m Kids' Dash • Handcycle
Mother-Daughter, Three Generations of Women, and Family Teams!
Celebrate women — by joining your mothers, sisters, daughters, and your entire sisterhood in the Detroit Mother's Day Run/Walk and showing how truly divine you are. Bring out the whole family and race as a team in our Mother-Daughter, Three Generations of Women, and Family teams (participants must all compete in the same division to be eligible for awards)!
Looking for less distance? Participate in the untimed 1 Mile Fun Run. Whatever your age or ability may be, you know you can do this.
While this is a day to celebrate goddesses of all generations, we also welcome husbands, brothers, fathers, sons, grandfathers, and more, as long as they support our goddesses (awards are just for the ladies, guys!)
All events are walker-friendly!
The 200-Meter Kids Run takes off immediately prior to the first adult event. The kids are cheered to the finish line by all of their fans where they all earn a finisher’s medal and partake in post-race festivities. All kids 10 and under race FREE with a paid adult!
