MOTTEP LIFE Walk & Run

MOTTEP LIFE Walk & Run is an annual community event in Detroit that promotes organ and tissue donation and brings people together. Over the years the event has been a place where donor families and recipients have met for the first time, participants have formed lasting relationships, and some have traveled from other countries to attend.

The event offers a 5K run alongside walk activities. Registered runners receive a race T-shirt, a finisher medal, and a placement medal awarded by age category for male and female competitors. Race day finishing photos and electronic chip timing are available for runners. All participants receive a participation medal.

Event features include the LIFE Walk Cafe, a free health fair, the Circle of Life Garden, a Kid's Corner, Sebastian's Corner, and donor family teams. The organizer is the Detroit MOTTEP Foundation. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2026, and the listed location is 736 Lothrop, Detroit, Michigan. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
