Everyday Heroes Needed Race 2 Rescue 5K Color Run and 1 Mile Walk
This community event combines a 5 km color run and a 1 mile walk at Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township, Michigan. The course is a road race on paved surfaces. Participants may run or walk; strollers and wheelchairs are permitted.
The event includes a large color blast at the finish, an after-event celebration with food, a raffle with ticket pricing of $1 each, 6 for $5, and 12 for $10, and music. Awards include special medals for top male and female finishers in eight age categories and a $50 gift card for the overall top male and female finishers. Handcrafted medals made by local children are planned for the first 100 finishers.
The program features educational materials and community safety booths addressing topics such as online child safety, 911 safety, fire safety, stranger danger, and water safety. Local first responder groups including the Michigan State Police, Medstar, and local fire and rescue units are scheduled to participate and be honored.
The event raises funds for child protection programs and related services. Proceeds are donated to DMI, a 501c3 organization. Registration fees and age-specific pricing are published by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
