Set the PACE 5K VIRTUAL RUN/WALK (June 6-June 8)
A virtual 5K is a race that can be completed from any location you choose. You can run, jog, roll, bike, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. So, meet up with some friends, get outside, take a stroll with your dog – whatever your heart desires because YOU set the PACE in this race! Just complete your 5K (3.1 miles) between the race dates of Friday, June 6 and Sunday, June 8, 2025. It’s an “honor system” event, so you only need to keep track of your time if you wish to! If registering before May 23, 2025, you will receive a t-shirt, race bib, and medal. If registering after May 23, t-shirts are not guaranteed. We encourage you to wear your “Set the PACE 5K” t-shirt and bib during your race and when you’re done, proudly add the medal! When posting about your race on social media, please use the hashtag #SetThePACE5K and tag PACE Southeast Michigan. **Non-refundable
