The Memorial Day 5k Race, a longstanding favorite on the island, is back! Previously hosted by the Island Road Runners, the event is now under the care of Conz Productions—but don’t worry, the race you know and love remains largely unchanged. Runners can still choose between the 5k and 8k routes, while kids can enjoy a free, one-mile fun run (note: T-shirt and medal not included for the fun run). The race will kick off on May 26th at Grosse Ile High School.

Participants have three race distances to choose from: 5K, 8K, or Half Marathon! The Half Marathon course is gorgeous, fast, and flat with only 96’ of elevation gain. The 8k course offers a little more variety with rolling hills in gorgeous Elizabeth Park at the start. You’ll also enjoy the Trenton Summer Festival atmosphere in downtown Trenton!
The 5k is a great race for a fast time (the course record is 15:24.07) or to get out and enjoy a fun run or walk with friends.

The Running To Honor 5K is a timed, family friendly walk (or run) focused on keeping the memory of our Fallen Soldiers & Veterans alive and reminding others that Freedom is never free. The start time of the 5K walk (or run) is 8:00 AM in front of the Sheridan Pavilion. The Kids .5K will start at 7:30 AM.
The theme this year is the Afghanistan War. The Afghanistan War lasted from 2001 to 2021. We are hoping we can educate others in the community about what the Afghanistan War was about and keep the history and memory of our Fallen Soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan alive as we say their names and walk (or run) in memory of them.
The Taylor Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4422 and Running To Honor organizations will receive the proceeds raised from this event.
