Downriver Runs and Walks
Walk it or run it! Just keep moving!
Cupid’s Undie Run Detroit
Registration is open for our 2023 events! Every February, thousands of undie runners in cities all across the U.S. come together, whether it be in-person or virtually, to support those affected by NF, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and affects 1 in every 3,000 births. Cupid’s Undie Run kicks off with drinking and dancing, then we jog it out with a mile(ish) run and end it all with an epic dance party!
We’re on a mission to raise awareness and fund critical NF research while running in our undies!
With your help, we can help improve treatments, improve care, and improve lives for those living with NF.

Join us In-person in 2023 for the 4th annual Strides for Adam 5k run, walk and 1 mile reflection walk. We are also offering a virtual event for those that are unable to participate in-person.
Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death for ages 10-24. More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, COMBINED.
On Dec 26, 2018 this unfortunate statistic affected Adam Holten, his family, extended family, friends and the community. We lost a very good person to suicide. Adam affected many people’s lives with his presence, his smile, his laughter, his handshakes and his ability to reach out and lift other people up.
Since his passing we have created a non-profit organization: Strides for Adam. We are coordinating a 5K race to continue his legacy of service to others and keep his memory alive.

For all of those that laced up their sneakers in 2021, we can’t thank you enough for your support of the Fish and Loaves mission.
But we need your help again this year, hope you see you on June 4, 2023…..
The Challenges
1. Happy Soles will be held at Taylor Heritage Park Sheridan Pavilion. A new route will take the racers through the beautiful Heritage Park. Our Racers can run, walk or bike the route. If you are uncomfortable joining us for the event, please feel free to once again participate virtually. We appreciate your support.
2. We need a Tagline for Happy Soles 2022. Please submit your tagline to happysoles5k@flcfp.org by May 1, 2022. Tagline winner will be awarded an entry to the 2023 Happy Soles 5k.
3. The final piece of the challenge comes in the form of fundraising! Registration for Happy Soles is $35 per person but this year, due to increased demand for food resources, we’re encouraging you to fundraise as you strive to hit your mileage goal. Within your dashboard, you have the ability to create a fundraising page to track your efforts and share them with friends and family using your own social and email channels. Help motivate them to join you in the miles or in fundraising for your goal!
100% of ALL proceeds will help Fish & Loaves purchase food for households in 2022.
