The Derek Dexter Memorial 5K

Lace up your sneakers and join us for the Derek Dexter Detroit Memorial 5k, a vibrant tribute to our beloved runner, Derek Dexter, who left us too soon. We're keeping his passion alive on the track, celebrating his legacy with every stride. You'll not only score a cool t-shirt and a finisher's award but also become part of a movement supporting local high school athletes through scholarships and running gear.

Swing by for packet pick-up from 7:00-7:45 am at West Playfield Shelter, right beside the Nature Center in Lake St Clair Metropark, Harrison Twp, MI. Remember, park entry requires a MetroParks pass or a $10 day pass. Get ready to experience a 5k where strollers and dogs are welcomed with open arms because it's all about joy, just as Derek would've wanted it. See you at the starting line where Derek’s spirit sprints on!
