Runners competed in several events, including a 26.2-mile marathon, a 13.1-mile half marathon, a five-person relay, and a 5K run/walk.
About 2,300 entered the 5K run, and the first-place finisher was August Pappas, a senior cross-country runner at Chelsea High School, who finished in 15 minutes, 55 seconds.
“It felt great. I’ve never run in Detroit before. It was awesome — it’s super flat,” Pappas said. “The weather was great. The wind was nice and cool. You could see yourself in all the windows, so it’s kind of cool.”
