About this Event
It’s that time of year again! Join us for WeRun313's 6th Annual Gala, where we celebrate our journey and the vast distance we are building into the future. This year's theme is Afrofuturism, honoring the legacy we’ve created in Detroit while charting the blueprint for our next era of movement.
This event is a celebration of our successful 2025 season. We will reflect on where WeRun313 started, recognize the achievements that define where we are now (the miles connected and the distance built), and project the bold vision for where we are headed (the future miles we are building). Whether you’ve run with us, supported our mission, or want to connect with Detroit's running community, you’re invited!
Leave your running shoes at home and bring your best attire, it's time to dress to impress! The event takes place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 7:00 PM - 12:00 AM at Ideation Orange. The night's energy will be curated by Detroit’s Own DJBJ.
You’ll enjoy Gourmet Heavy Appetizers catered by Ronnie Love Catering and a signature style of immersive Afrofuturist décor. The Quenched Mobile Bartending team will provide professional cash bar service, offering two custom signature cocktails designed for the theme (note: the organization provides the alcohol; guests pay per drink). We are also offering a special VIP Ticket for guests looking for an elevated experience, which includes two complimentary drinks.
Expect an unforgettable evening of connection, awards, and great vibes, a true Detroit celebration of excellence! Formal attire is encouraged, and all attendees must be 21+. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
