White Chapel Patriots Race

The White Chapel Patriots Race, held at White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery in Troy, Michigan, is a charitable running event benefiting Michigan veterans and their families. The race features some of the flattest and fastest 5K and 10K courses in Southeastern Michigan, winding through American flag-lined private boulevards and past monuments honoring veterans from conflicts dating back to WWI. Since its inception in 2016, the event supports the Michigan Wounded & Returning Warriors Program.

In addition to the timed runs, there are 1-mile patriot walks and special categories for veterans and groups. A free concert by Stephen Cochran & Friends follows the race, with donations accepted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
