The 2019 Patriots Race was the biggest EVER with a record crowd participated in the 10K, 5K and 1M events.
We paused for safety in 2020 and again in 2021, but we plan to roar back in 2022!
White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is and remains a beautiful race setting through flag-lined private boulevards and stirring monuments to veterans and service members from conflicts as far back as WWI. Plus, the Patriots Race features probably the flattest and fastest 10K and 5K courses in Southeastern Michigan.
Our focus remains on supporting Michigan veterans and their families, which is why, in 2022 we’ll be . . .
This was a great event I as a wound vet was honored to be a part of it with my kid brother it will hopefully be a annual event and a tradition for us for many years to come

I too would like to volunteer. My grandfather who was in two wars and my uncle who fought in Vietnam are both laid to rest at White chapel along with my father. I have cousins who are currently serving and a twin sister in the Navy. I support our troops 100% and as much as I would love to run my body won’t allow me too. So I would love to continue in any way I can

What time are the races?
Note that if you have registered for any other Eventbrite event, as I have, you will not get taken to the Patriots Race. Instead you get an odd looking page noting there are many events. Then you see a long list of events in your area. Scroll to the bottom to find the race. 🙄
