Turner’s Trot is a 5K run/walk offered in two formats.

Previous Ann Arbor races have taken place in County Farm Park and Gallup Park, featuring refreshments, breakfast, finisher prizes, raffles, and T-shirts for early registrants.

The Dew What You Say 5K is a Wayne State University Physical Therapy fundraiser held in Detroit, taking place on the school’s Midtown campus around Gullen Mall. Participants can choose between a 5K run/walk or a 1-mile walk for a shorter option. The event begins in the morning with affordable registration and a straightforward setup, functioning as a campus community gathering to raise funds for the physical therapy clinics, rather than a large-scale city event. The funds raised benefit Wayne State’s student-operated pro bono clinics: the SAY Detroit Physical Therapy Clinic and the Diabetes Education and Wellness Clinic. These clinics provide services to uninsured and underinsured Detroit residents. Race proceeds contribute to the purchase of supplies, educational resources, and general clinic maintenance throughout the year. While specific course details are minimal, the location is defined: runners and walkers will assemble near Wayne State’s Biological Sciences Building on Gullen Mall. On-site and nearby parking is available, and the first 100 participants will receive tote bags.
