6th Annual Strides for Adam 5K @ Young Patriots Park
Mar 23 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
6th Annual Strides for Adam 5K @ Young Patriots Park | Riverview | Michigan | United States

Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death for ages 10-24. More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, COMBINED.

On Dec 26, 2018 this unfortunate statistic affected Adam Holten, his family, extended family, friends and the community. We lost a very good person to suicide. Adam affected many people’s lives with his presence, his smile, his laughter, his handshakes and his ability to reach out and lift other people up.

Since his passing we have created a non profit organization – Strides for Adam to continue his legacy of service to others and keep his memory alive.

Trenton Summerfest Half Marathon, 8K and 5K @ Elizabeth Park

Trenton Summerfest Half Marathon, 8K and 5K @ Elizabeth Park | Trenton | Michigan | United States

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.
