There are still spots open for this weekend’s Detroit Auto Show 5K, an event that helps support the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Adventure Center in the Motor City.
Get moving in the new year – invite your family and friends to join, too! – by signing up for this race that begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, at Huntington Place, Detroit's riverfront convention center formerly known as Cobo Hall. The route starts and finishes outside the doors of the Detroit Auto Show and takes runners and walkers along the Detroit Riverfront.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Detroit Auto Show for partnering with the DNR and allowing us to incorporate their iconic branding into an event that supports the Outdoor Adventure Center,” said Michelle O’Kelly, race director and fund developer for the DNR Parks and Recreation Division. “The collaboration helps us introduce new audiences to outdoor recreation and hands-on learning, right in the heart of Detroit.”
With about 150 spots remaining, O’Kelly expects the race to fill soon. Registration will close once the event reaches its cap of 550 participants.
After crossing the finish line and refueling, race participants (and spectators) are invited to visit the Outdoor Adventure Center for Wheel Talk: The Stories that Drove the Motor City, taking place 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
“Join the OAC team and local partners to celebrate the automobile heritage of the Motor City,” said Emily Grant, who oversees education, events and camps at the Outdoor Adventure Center. “We’ll discover the people and ideas that put the world on wheels, and why Michigan was especially suited to drive the automobile industry.”
