DefiPlate™ Games : 5K run (run-only entry)
The DefiPlate™ Games include a run-only registration for the 5K portion of a hybrid strength and speed competition. This entry covers the USATF-measured 5,000 meter run only. The event is presented by DefiPlate and takes place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Dexter, Michigan.
Course, rules and divisions
The 5K uses the Hudson Mills Metropark loop and is a USATF-certified 5,000 meter course. The surface is a paved park path described as flat. The race uses mass start and official chip timing. Water stations are provided. Rules state no pacers, bikes, or outside assistance are allowed, with a disability exception, and all participants must finish under their own power. Results and event placement recognition are provided for all finishers. Division winners will be acknowledged on the event leaderboard. The listed divisions are Open Men’s, Open Women’s, Masters Men’s (55+), and Masters Women’s (55+).
Location and logistics
The event is held at Hudson Mills Metropark, 8801 N Territorial Rd, Dexter, MI 48130. Standard park entry fees apply. The run-only registration appears separately from the full hybrid competition, which combines the deficit deadlift and the 5K and requires separate registration on Iron Podium. The listed entry price for the run-only 5K is $40. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
