About
We are back for a third year teaming up with The Chevy Running Club and The General Motors Proving Ground, for the third annual Prove It 5K! Think you’ve got the fastest 5k around? Put your money where your mouth is and come race on the test track at the World Famous GM Milford Proving Ground! We will be running on the beautiful and technical Milford Road Course (we don’t think anyone will be breaking the course record as cars fly on this course at speeds well over 100 MPH!). Prove that you are as fast as you say you are with our one-of-a-kind age and gender graded running race on this historic automobile test track. While Trivium has many fast, flat courses to get a PR, this USATF certified course is a bit more challenging!
Megal Medal Series
Prove It 5K is the first race in the Trivium East Michigan Medal Series! If you complete all five events in the medal series you will earn a sixth “finishers” medal to complete the series! All six medals connect together magnetically to create a giant 3-D cube medall!! If you are going to miss an event you can also sign up for the “virtual race” and still get a medal and bib!
