The Motor City Mile is an annual event sponsored by Different Strokes Swim Shop held on Belle Isle Beach in Detroit, Michigan every July. Events range from a 5k to a 1 mile to a 1/2 mile swim with all proceeds donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Different Strokes Scholarship Fund.
In 2000, the inaugural Motor City Mile started with 30 participants. In recent years, there have been over 500 participants, 150 volunteers and another 800 spectators. It is a unique event showcasing the city of Detroit while supporting a great cause!
There is a $20 donation fee to the charity in order to register for this event. For further questions, please contact Mr. Shannon Dunworth at shannon@different-strokes.com
