The MVHCT Heroic Walk, Run & Roll starts at 9:15 AM, giving you a reasonable morning window to arrive in Chesterfield without an early pre-dawn drive. This June event at Michigan Veteran Homes at Chesterfield offers two distances: an 800M and a 1-mile option, making it accessible whether you're training for longer events or prefer shorter distances. Entry fees range from $25 to $45. Both running and walking are supported, so you can choose your effort level. The small-distance format works well if you're using this event as part of a longer weekend training block rather than as your main race focus.
