From the Organizer

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Rho Mu Nu Chapter in conjunction with the Like Minds Foundation presents the Annual “IN THE CUT 5k Fun Run/Walk” at the Nankin Mills Recreation Area in Historic Hines Drive Park Wayne County, Michigan.

Detroit, MI. – The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Rho Mu Nu Chapter in conjunction with the Like Minds Foundation presents the Annual “In the Cut 5k” Fun Run/Walk event. This magnificent community outreach event will occur on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. in the historic Hines Drive Park Wayne County beginning at the Nankin Mills Recreation Area, Hines Park 33259 Edward Hines Drive, Westland, MI.

The Cause?

In the cut 5k was inspired by a group of men to help move our community toward a more healthy way of living. What better way to do that than with the objective of completing a 5k. While there is a race, the event also has partnered with health care groups and local personal training and fitness facilities to bring about a change. Come run with us. See you at the start line. 

​Without you there is no us. Thank you to our sponsors for your support.
