Until next year. Get Active and Stay Healthy at the Hamtramck Health Hike Hamtramck, Mich. – Join the Hamtramck Drug Free Community Coalition (HDFCC), a program of the Piast Institute, for its 17th Annual Hamtramck Health Hike. This fun-filled community event promoting health and wellness will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. until noon. Led by this year's Grand Marshal, Michael Young, a long-standing and dedicated member of the Hamtramck Fire Department, this year’s hike highlights the strength and spirit of community leadership in Hamtramck. The Hamtramck Health Hike invites residents of all ages to come together for a morning of outdoor activity and enjoyment. Rain or shine, participants will take on the 5K course through city streets, beginning and ending at Zussman Park, in front of Hamtramck City Hall. Participants can run, jog, or walk the course at their own pace. The 5K will be officially timed, and participants will be able to look up their bib number online to view race results and compare times within their age group. As an added incentive, the first 400 people to register and attend will receive free giveaways, so be sure to sign up early and secure your spot. Following the hike, participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy activities at the park while learning more about healthy, drug-free lifestyles. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to learn how to save a life. Participants can receive on-site training in the use of Naloxone (commonly known as Narcan), a life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. Those who complete the training will receive a free naloxone kit to take home, empowering community members with the knowledge and tools to respond in an emergency. “We’re grateful for the continued support of our community leaders, partners, and volunteers who make this event possible,” said HDFCC Director Shannon Schafer. “Together, we are promoting healthy lifestyles and working to prevent substance abuse among our youth.” Don’t miss this opportunity to come together as a community, take steps toward a healthier future, and gain the tools to make a life-saving difference. Register today and join us for a morning of fun, fitness, and connection. The Hamtramck Drug Free Community Coalition (HDFCC) was founded by the Piast Institute in 2007 to address issues of substance abuse among Hamtramck youth. Committed to prevention activities, HDFCC works year-round with community leaders to tackle substance abuse involving alcohol, tobacco, opioids, and marijuana.
