Allen Park 5k

The Allen Park 5K Run/Walk, organized by the Downriver Runners club, is a longstanding event held in Allen Park, Michigan. The 49th annual race features a fast, flat 5K course through local neighborhoods, starting and finishing at Allen Park Presbyterian Church (7101 Park Ave). The event also includes a free, untimed Kid's 1 Mile Fun Run.

Proceeds support the Tony Mifsud scholarship program, awarding two $1,000 scholarships to area high school runners. The race honors Tony Mifsud, a beloved coach and founding member of the club. Awards are given to overall and age group winners, with street parking available nearby. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
