Looking for a fast, scenic early-summer race in Southeast Michigan? Trenton Summerfest Half Marathon, 8K, and 5K on June 27, 2026 features USATF-certified courses, flat and runner-friendly routes, and a welcoming atmosphere for every pace.
Run through Elizabeth Park, along the river in Trenton, and—if you’re taking on 13.1—through Gibraltar on a course known for smooth organization, great support, and well-stocked aid stations. With low elevation gain, beautiful scenery, and strong community energy, this is a perfect way to kick off your summer racing season.

Jul4Sat2026 Get ready for the annual Firecracker 5k, a favorite tradition in our community! This year, it’s proudly organized by Conz Productions.
Related StoriesRunners can participate in the 5k route, while kids can join in the fun with a free 200m dash (note: T-shirt and medal not included for the kids’ race).
5k: $40 until June 14th; $45 from June 15th until race day
Important: Register by June 15th 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!
The event will kick off on July 4th in the Theatre Lot at 1st & Elm St, in downtown Wyandotte.
Jul25Sat2026 Related StoriesThe Running To Honor 5K is a timed, family friendly walk (or run) focused on keeping the memory of our Fallen Soldiers & Veterans alive and reminding others that Freedom is never free. The event will take place on Saturday, July 25th, 2026 inside Heritage Park located at 12111 Pardee Rd, Taylor, MI 48180. The start time of the 5K walk (or run) is 8:00 AM in front of the Sheridan Pavilion. The Kids .5K will start at 7:30 AM.
The theme this year is military Veteran mental health. Every day there are 20 to 22 Veterans losing their battle with PTSD. That is a nice way of saying that they intentionally or unintentionally took their own lives. We are hoping we can educate others in the community about how Veterans go from serving our country to ending their lives way too early and more importantly what everyone can do make a difference in the life of a military Veteran so that tomorrow seems a little brighter for them.
We will also be saying the names of all of our Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Veterans before the 5K and walking (or running) in memory of them.
