Get ready to kick off your Memorial Day with purpose at the Milford Memorial Day Run on Monday, May 25, 2026, in picturesque Milford, MI. This cherished annual event offers distances for every pace, including a challenging 10K, a popular 5K, and an untimed 1 Mile fun run. All races begin and conclude at the pavilion by the Carl's Family YMCA, where convenient parking and facilities are readily available.

Runners will enjoy a scenic course that winds along the beautiful Milford path and river, offering pleasant views as you move. While generally considered a road course, some sections feature gentle inclines, adding a slight challenge to your stride. Typical race day conditions in late May bring comfortable highs around 71°F and lows near 49°F, with a minimal chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a morning run. As you push towards the finish line, look forward to receiving a custom finisher medal, a race shirt (for 5K and 10K participants), and post-race refreshments.

What truly sets the Milford Memorial Day Run apart is its vibrant community atmosphere and its role as a prelude to the town's Memorial Day Parade. Participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the parade festivities after their race, making it a perfect family-friendly celebration. Beyond the personal achievement, your registration contributes directly to supporting local community and athletic groups, ensuring every step you take makes a difference. The event is inclusive, welcoming both strollers and pets on the course, and headphones are permitted, allowing you to enjoy your run your way.
