Avenue Runners and Walkers Mission

This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was founded to provide a continuous opportunity to exercise and socialize in an inclusive and supportive environment. We use weekly group runs/walks as a means to welcome all into to the Metro Detroit’s running community and build fellowship. We also strive to give back to the community through volunteer work at local races and charitable organizations.
