Palmer Park Event Series - June 14, 2026
The Palmer Park Event Series is a pride-themed community running and wellness event presented by Welcome Home Wellness Alliance at Palmer Park in Detroit. The event supports People for Palmer Park and the Ruth Ellis Center, organizations focused on park preservation and trauma-informed services for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults as described by the organizer. The program pairs outdoor yoga with multiple run and walk options.
Distances and event formats offered:
- 8K race and virtual 8K option
- 5K race and virtual 5K option
- 1 Mile fun run and virtual 1 Mile option
Several entries combine a longer distance with the 1 Mile and there are yoga-only sessions, including a free kids class for ages 12 and under. Race registrations for some distances include a shirt, medal, bib and interactive online media; virtual registration packets are mailed after the event. Early packet pickup is scheduled the day before at Welcome Home Yoga & Wellness in Detroit. Registrants should note that shirts and medals are not guaranteed for registrations completed after May 11 due to national supply chain issues.
