4 Star 4 Mile Race

In celebration of Veterans Day, join us for the 9th Annual 4Star 4Mile Race located at the Dean Savage Memorial Park (corner of Trumbull and Porter Street) in Corktown on Sunday, November 10th, 2024, at 11:00 AM. Let's put our running shoes on the ground to honor those who have dedicated their lives to our freedom. Our 4-mile race is the only race in the country that runs alongside of the Veterans Day Parade, on the same course, at the same time.
  *This is a charitable event with proceeds going to the Metropolitan Detroit Veterans Coalition (MDVC), the sponsors of the annual Detroit Veterans Day Parade.

 

Our Mission Statement:  
The men and women who leave military service often leave behind a sense of community, purpose, and identity.  The community they leave behind is their military community; the purpose they leave behind is what type of work their unit performed and the identity they leave is their specific role in their unit.  It is difficult to replace those things as they transition into civilian life, so it is no wonder that veterans often feel marginalized.
The mission of the 4Star4Mile Race is to provide a platform for a shared experience between our communities and our veterans. For civilians, as they run alongside the annual Veterans Day parade, they see, and can feel, the immense pride and commitment of those who served and who continue to serve, and for the veterans they see that our communities recognize our proud history and applaud our commitment, helping to provide a true sense of community and purpose that veterans long for and deserve.

It is the hope of the 4Star4Mile Race that this provides for a mutually beneficial, supportive experience.  

 

EVENT START TIMES 11:00 AM:  4Star4Mile Race  & the Annual Detroit Veterans Day Parade   PACKET PICK-UP Race Day Packet pick-up will be 8:30 - 11:00 AM at the rear of the IBEW building located at the intersection of Porter and Trumbull.
