DefiPlate Games 5K (Run Only)
The DefiPlate Games 5K is the run-only portion of a hybrid strength and speed competition held at Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter, Michigan on June 6, 2026. This registration covers the USATF-certified 5,000 meter loop through the park.
The course follows a paved park path and is described as scenic and flat. The event uses mass start procedures with chip timing; all participants receive official chip-timed results and event placement recognition. Water stations are provided along the route. Standard park entry fees apply for parking at Hudson Mills Metropark.
The 5K entry is separate from the full hybrid competition, which pairs a deficit deadlift discipline with the 5K run and ranks competitors using a combined 50/50 scoring method. Rules for the 5K specify no pacers, bicycles, or outside assistance except for disability exceptions, and require that participants finish under their own power.
Divisions for the 5K include Open Men’s, Open Women’s, Masters Men’s (55+), and Masters Women’s (55+). All finishers receive official results and placement recognition; division winners will be acknowledged on the event leaderboard. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
