TRACKING YOUR TIME? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.
Monitoring of the race will be provided by Eastside Racing Company, which has served the Detroit Metropolitan Area for 30 years.
Each runner will be given an electronic chip that will measure the distance traveled and the time it took. Results will available shortly thereafter here on their website.
WE'RE RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS.
When it comes to a big community event, more hands makes the work lighter. We are recruiting volunteers to assist with the 5K on the day, doing tasks such as aiding in runner check-in, relaying messages to Eastside Racing Company, handing out tracking devices and 5K t-shirts to the runners, etc.

DONATE
We don't keep a dollar in profits. Every year, all funds raised through sponsorship and registration fees go to local nonprofits after the costs of the event.
But the costs of putting on Run Warren Center Line 5K are increasing. And the more money we spend on event costs, the less goes to deserving organizations doing meeting the needs of our community.
Whether you are an individual, or a business that does not the recognition of a sponsorship package, we are incredibly grateful for every dollar donated so that we can ensure those nonprofits have support in their important work.
Run Warren Center Line 5K is an event organized by the Warren Community Foundation (WCF) which was formed for the coordination, marketing, and implementation of various community events designed to promote the welfare of the Cities of Warren and Center Line, Michigan We donate the proceeds to charitable and educational organizations doing good works. WCF believes the best way to bring people together is to get them out of the house and talking to one another. The foundation is comprised of veteran businessmen and philanthropists with decades of experience and relationships.
The Warren Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the umbrella of the Warren Center Line Chamber of Commerce (WCLCC). That chamber is one of two area specific subchambers of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce (SMCC). Click here for more information on the chambers.
