About Run United

United Way for Southeastern Michigan’s Run United team is a group of runners, walkers, cyclists and volunteers who put their feet and wheels to the pavement to better their communities. Over the past eight years, hundreds of team members have participated in in-person and virtual events, logging thousands of miles and raising more than a million dollars for United Way initiatives. Run United offers a chance to get physically active with friends and co-workers while doing good for our community.

Together, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support United Way’s work building equitable communities of stable households and thriving children.

Run United participants have made an incredible impact in our community. Together, we’ve provided local students with laptops and other technology as part of our work to close the digital divide, allowed students to grow their home libraries through Scholastic book fairs, and helped students be prepared for the first day of school with backpacks and school supplies.
