RegisterMichigan Men's Health Foundation's annual Run for the Ribbon 5K takes place Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 8 a.m. at the Detroit Zoo to support prostate cancer survivors and those who love them. Participants can participate in the 5K run/walk loop or a 1 Mile Stroll inside the zoo. All participants will receive a race shirt, medal, and complimentary entry to the Detroit Zoo. What a great way to spend Father's Day!
Our Doze for Dads option is a way to support the men in your life without the cardio! Please only select this option if you are NOT planning to attend the event in person. If you register for Doze for Dads you will not be permitted to participate on race day without registering for the in-person events.
Registrants are encouraged bring a team and build a personal fundraising page asking friends and family members to donate when they sign up for the event. Registrants can upload photos, a personal story and set up team or personal fundraising goals. Each secure team page or personal page will have its own custom URL.
Prostate cancer survivors, please be sure to stop by the Michigan Men's Health Foundation tent for your survivor gift!
*Please note that according to Zoo regulations, dogs are not allowed at this race*
