DefiPlate™ Games 5K Run (Run-Only Entry)
The DefiPlate™ Games 5K run is the run-only portion of a hybrid strength and speed competition held on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter, MI. The event uses a USATF-certified 5,000 meter course that follows the Hudson Mills loop on paved park paths.
The run features official chip timing, individual results, and placement recognition. The course is described as scenic and flat and is conducted as a mass start with chip timing. Course support includes water stations. Standard park entry fees apply for parking.
This run is part of a larger hybrid competition that combines two scored disciplines: a deficit deadlift performed with DefiPlate equipment and a 5K run. Competitor rankings in the full hybrid division are based on a combined 50/50 scoring system that weights both strength and run performance.
Event rules specify no pacers, bikes, or outside assistance except where a disability exception applies, and all participants must finish under their own power. Recognized divisions for results and placement include Open Men, Open Women, Masters Men 55 and older, and Masters Women 55 and older. All finishers receive official results and leaderboard recognition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
