4Star 4Mile Veterans Day Race

The 4Star 4Mile is a Veterans Day-themed run held in Detroit's historic Corktown neighborhood, starting and finishing at Dean Savage Memorial Park near the corner of Trumbull and Porter Street. Now in its 11th year, the race steps off at 11:00 a.m. and shares its course and timing with the neighborhood's Veterans Day Parade, so runners move alongside the celebration honoring those who have served. The four-mile distance is approachable for many fitness levels, making it a good goal race for casual and seasoned runners alike, and the community atmosphere blends fitness with patriotism and remembrance. The event is a spirited way to stay active in the late fall and to pay tribute to veterans as a community. Paid registration is required and typically includes race-day perks. Bundle up for autumn weather, and plan to enjoy the parade energy as part of the experience.
