Burton Race Series

The Burton Race Series connects the Hot Fudge 5K Run & Walk, the City of Burton Memorial Day 5K Run & Walk, and the Veterans Honor Run in Burton, Michigan. This series is run by volunteers. Each event has its own registration fee, and there's no additional cost to be included in the series standings. Runners and walkers participating in all three events are series participants. The schedule includes a winter Hot Fudge race, a Memorial Day 5K, and a veterans-themed run later in the year. A virtual participation option is available for those unable to attend one of the in-person races. Those who complete all three events receive a special Burton Race Series medal at a December after-party. The series also contributes to local community projects and fundraising efforts.
