Juneteenth Detroit 5k Run/Walk
About this race
Join us for a meaningful Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk as we celebrate freedom, unity, and resilience. This empowering event aims to honor the significance of Juneteenth by bringing our community together through a spirited run. Lace up your shoes and stride with purpose as we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved individuals and embrace the spirit of equality and justice.
The 5k Run/Walk will be a great addition to the 8th annual Juneteenth Parade.
