Run With The Pack 5K takes place on October 3, 2026, in Detroit, Michigan at 6325 W Jefferson Ave. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile distance rather than a full 5K, making it accessible for runners looking for a shorter race option. The event starts at 9:00 AM, giving athletes an early morning race experience. Entry is priced at $35.00. This straightforward one-mile format works well for those training in the Detroit area or seeking a quick racing opportunity on a fall Saturday morning.
