Event Description

BT5K Michigan is part of the American Brain Tumor Association’s (ABTA) signature Breakthrough for Brain Tumors 5K series. Currently, more than 700,000 people in the U.S. are living with a brain tumor diagnosis.

Your support allows the ABTA to fund desperately needed brain tumor research, patient programs and support services. Your support plays a vital role in our ability to continue to provide research funding and patient and caregiver-focused information and resources to the greater Detroit area. To date, the ABTA has funded over $600,000 in research grants to Michigan-based scientists.

We’re taking our Signature BT5K in a new direction this year. It’s BT5K Your Way and no matter where you live, you can participate!

Walk, run, bike, push a stroller, or even rollerblade your own 5K. It’s your choice! And you can get moving as soon as you register.

Registered Adults will receive a BT5K drifit shirt, race bib, and finishers certificate.

Registered children will receieve a BT5K drifit shirt, race bib, and finishers medal. 

On Sunday, September 13, a virtual celebration will take place!
