2026 LTA Foundation 1.975 Walk/Run

Lace up your shoes for a meaningful stride at the 8th Annual LTA Foundation 1.975 Walk/Run in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, June 27, 2026. This untimed event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels to run, walk, or jog the unique 1.975-mile distance, all while contributing to a powerful cause. More than just a race, this event is the marquee fundraiser for the Lambda Theta Alpha Foundation, dedicated to advancing communities through vital education and natural disaster relief efforts.

The 1.975 Walk/Run offers a supportive atmosphere for participants to move at their own pace, with volunteers stationed along the route and following the group to ensure everyone's safety. While the exact course details in Detroit are yet to be announced, the event traditionally coincides with the Lambda Theta Alpha National Convention, creating a vibrant community spirit. Water and snacks will be available to keep participants hydrated and energized throughout the morning.

Typical race day conditions in late June for Detroit see comfortable highs around 82°F and lows around 63°F, with a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. Beyond the physical challenge, your participation directly supports the Foundation's impactful work, including scholarship programs, making this a truly rewarding experience for both body and spirit.
