Grosse Ile Memorial Day Race

🏃‍♂️ A Beloved Grosse Ile Tradition Returns!

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.

📝 Registration Details:

• 5k: $40 until May 1st, after then $45 until race day
• 8k: $45 until May 1st, after then $50 until race day
  Register by May 1st to guarantee your race T-shirt! Registrations after this date will still receive a medal, but T-shirts will no longer be available.
  Please note: Participants who register within 5 days of the race are not guaranteed a medal, so sign up early to secure yours!

🎽 Packet Pickup:

As we are still in the early planning stages, the location for packet pickup has yet to be designated. Once confirmed, we will update this website and send an email to all registered participants with the details. Stay tuned!

🤝 Volunteer Opportunities:

We welcome all the help we can get! If you’d like to volunteer, check out the volunteer section on our page—we appreciate everyone who pitches in to make this event special.

🎖️ New This Year: Giving Back to Our Veterans
