Wurst Kilometer
About this race
The Wurst Kilometer was dreamed up after one too many at Meantime in Detroit. It’s one brat, one mliko and one highly questionable kilometer. Its the kind of thing that shouldn’t exist but now that it does, you know you want to try it. Just like its daddy race, all proceeds after cost will be donated to Rebel Dogs Detroit. Unlike its daddy, there are no laps involved. You know you want to give it a shot. Also, it is the wurst kilometer, so it’s happening mid-afternoon in August.
Registration includes a race day tank and sticker, brat and mliko.
Join fellow runners on August 2, 2026 for the Wurst Kilometer. It's a fantastic 1K featuring a flat and fast course in Detroit.
