About
We are excited to be a part of the Dearborn Homecoming Festival events for a third year. This is a great location with a mostly flat, fast course. In 2018, the course will be USATF certified and we will continue to have have each decade race against each other. In 2016 the 80’s decade won and in 2017 the 90’s decade won! That means the 2018 event will be 90’s themed. Its going to be all that and a bag of chips, dude!
Decades Scoring:
During registration, participants will be prompted to sign up as a member of a specific decade. This is whichever decade you most associate with the Dearborn area. If you are not from Dearborn, you can sign up as whichever decade you graduated high school. We will crown a winning decade based on points scored during the race.
Each participant will receive 5 points for their decade just for finishing! The top 3 males and females will earn 500, 300, 200 respectively for their decade. Within each 5 year age group, the top ten people of each gender will score points as well – 200, 175, 160, 150, 140, 100, 90, 80, 70, 50 respectively.
Mega Medal Series:
Dearborn Homecoming 5K is the third race in the Trivium Michigan Medal Series! If you complete all events in the medal series you will earn a bonus “finishers” medal to complete the series! All the medals connect together magnetically to create a massive medal!! If you are going to miss an event you can also sign up for the “virtual race” and still get a medal and bib!
