Agent Orange Awareness 5K Run/Walk

It is with great excitement that we announce the opening of registration for this year’s Agent Orange Awareness 5K Run/Walk in Cherry Hill Village, presented by Jacob Matthew Jewelers! The race date has been set for Saturday, September 26, at 9:00am, with a 1/4 Mile Fun Run taking place 30-minutes prior at 8:30am. As with last year, a virtual race option is also available for those who would like to participate on their own time or from another location. The race will start and finish at Preservation Park, 500 North Ridge Road, Canton, MI 48188. Official race timing will be provided by Running Fit of Ann Arbor.

As we celebrate our 5-Year Anniversary, we’re proud to announce our partnership again with Fisher House Michigan for this event. Proceeds from the race will directly benefit Fisher House Michigan, which provides cost-free lodging to families and caregivers of veterans and active duty service members who are undergoing an episode of care at the VA Healthcare System. This incredible local organization works tirelessly to provide respite and home-away-from-home care for these families, and we are proud to support them again this year!

Take advantage of our Early Bird Registration for just $35 through August 31st. The cost of registration will increase to $45 on September 1st, so be sure to register early and take advantage of the Early Bird discount!

Every registrant, virtual or in-person, will receive a beautiful finisher medal as part of their registration. Participants will also have the option to purchase an official race t-shirt through the online registration portal.

Any children (or the young at heart!) who are interested in participating in the 1/4 Mile Fun Run can participate by bringing a simple donation of name-brand travel size toiletries, crayons and coloring books, or a $5 Kroger gift card. Likewise, we’ll have pre-assembled donation packs you can purchase on race day for just $5. No pre-registration is needed for the Fun Run.
