Race Information
White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is and remains a beautiful race setting coursing through flag-lined private boulevards and stirring monuments to veterans and service members from conflicts as far back as WWI. Plus, the Patriots Race features probably the flattest and fastest 10K and 5K courses in Southeastern Michigan.
