Susan G. Komen of Southeast Michigan — Race for the Cure, Detroit

Detroit's Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is a Saturday morning breast-cancer fundraiser held at William G. Milliken State Park on Atwater Street. The weekend is noted as the largest running and fundraising weekend in Southeast Michigan, featuring a 5K run/walk followed by a 1-mile family fun walk. The event accommodates both runners and walkers, not solely competitive racers. The 5K offers a standard short race distance, while the 1-mile option is accessible for families, survivors, supporters, and individuals who wish to participate without completing the full 5K. Fundraising is central to the event, with its stated purpose being to help prevent and cure breast cancer and save lives.
