The Michigan Men’s Health Foundation will host its annual Run for the Ribbon 5K Run/Walk at 8 a.m., June 15, 2025, at the Detroit Zoo. This event supports prostate cancer survivors and the loved ones that champion their journey. Participants can choose between a 5K loop or a 1-mile stroll through the zoo, each including a race shirt, medal and complimentary zoo admission.

This year’s event introduces a range of new features to honor and celebrate those affected by prostate cancer. Attendees may dedicate a free "In Celebration of" sign, displayed along the course and taken home afterward, or personalize back bibs and colored beads corresponding to their honoree’s journey. A Hero Wall offers space for ribbons and names to be pinned in tribute. Race winners and top fundraisers receive awards, including special recognition for the most recent father.

Prostate cancer survivors are invited to visit the Michigan Men’s Health Foundation tent to receive a commemorative gift. The event also features large yard games and friendly competitions before and after the race. For supporters unable to attend, the Doze for Dads option provides a way to participate without attending in person. Age-based discounts are available, and all participants, including stroller entries, must register.
