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.
The Willow Time Trial is held at Willow MetroPark, located near Romulus Michigan, east of I-275 off of South Huron Road (exit 11), six miles south of I-94. A park entrance permit is required. One day permits are available at the park entrance. The Willow Time Trial once again offers a season-opening opportunity to test your off-season base-building. Returning this year are the popular first-timer and Fat Bike categories. Racing is fun, and shouldn’t be intimidating, so if this is your first time, we have a category for you to see what this is all about. And yes, you read that right. We will have a Fat Bike/MTB Bike category. These are such fun and versatile machines that we couldn’t resist the chance to put them to the test on the road, in a time trial.
NEW FOR 2023 – Team Time Trial Categories We will have Male Open, Female Open and Mixed Open Team categories. Teams will consist of 4 riders with the time taken when the 3rd rider crosses the line. Teams must register together at one time (sorry, that’s the way bikereg requires) and pay at one time. For the mixed category, there must be 2 males and 2 females. There are no restrictions on bikes or equipment. TT, Road and any other type of bike is allowed. Get 3 of your fastest friends together and see if you have what it takes to be the fastest team in the state!
REDUCED FEES and DISTANCES for Juniors for 2023! Juniors will be the first category racing in the morning this year.
Al Petri from Petri Bikes in Woodhaven (www.petribikes.com) will be on-sight at Willow to offer technical support and will have a limited supply of essentials you may need to make sure your ride goes smoothly.
Electronic Timing provided by Fun Promotions, LLC.

The Strategic Staffing Solutions Turkey Trot kick off America’s Thanksgiving Parade presented by Gardner White.
The S3 Turkey Trot has been a tradition in Detroit for the past thirty-nine years. Much more than a variety of races (10k/5k/1 mile and combo events), thousands of participants dress in costumes for the event. Often declared “The Parade before The Parade”, participants frolic by the largest spectator crowd in Michigan. Truly an awesome way to start Thanksgiving Day!
