the 1,000 Detroit students served by 826michigan’s programs!


That means your dollars go directly to work in 826michigan’s writing lab, 

local public school classrooms, and the public library 

amplifying the voices of Detroit’s brilliant youth.


Our students' writing can change the world.

You can help 826michigan ensure the world reads it.




SPECIAL NOTE: This is a FUN RUN organized in support of 826michigan.


This fun run will not be timed and all funds raised will be donated to sustain 826michigan's free writing and tutoring programs provided to thousands of youth in Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor.


There are two run courses:

0.8(2)6 miles and 3.1 miles 


Here is an image of the route for the short course of 0.86 miles:




An image for the 3.1 mile route, which will utilize portions of the Eastern Market and the Dequindre Cut will be uploaded no later than Wednesdsay, October 9 as it is still being finalized.
