Cipriano family shares what’s next on their road to recovery in Farmington Hills, June 8, 2023

CIpriano Family finish, 2022

Start of the 5k, 2022 style

Race Location: Farmington Family YMCA, 28100 Farmington Rd, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334

We will again, use the 2023 course for 2024 (scroll down to see map).  We are starting and finishing on grassy fields, running a stretch of competitive track and enjoying a footbridge river crossing before entering the quiet and winding neighborhood streets. This is a great way to spend time with friends and family helping with a community event as a volunteer or for a quick 'work-out' on a Friday night. All proceeds and donations benefit the Cipriano Children's Trust. There is plenty of parking at the Y and Prince of Peace Church.

The 5K will start at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 7.  Early Bird Registration is $30. Starting May 24, at 11:59pm, registration is $40. Race Day registration is available 4:00-6:30 pm on June 7 at the YMCA for $40.

Rather than provide age group awards, we donate every dollar to the Cipriano Children's Trust, after costs.  Results from previous years are posted in the Results Tab.

Our 2023 event raised over $44,000 for the Cipriano family. The 2022 event raised over $41,000 and our 2021 event raised over $57,000. They truly appreciate your continued support and this event is among highlights of their year.

Here is an April 2024 statement from the Cipriano family:
"Hello friends and family! As we look forward to the thirteenth annual Cipriano Classic, we want to once again thank all of you for your continued love and support. 
While Sal still struggles with seizures and his feeding tube, he’s working harder than ever through the ups and downs to keep getting stronger and as always, he’s not done yet! After some health complications prevented him from joining last year, he looks forward to being back at the 5K this year and seeing all of your friendly faces along the course.
When not managing Sal’s needs, Rose is still playing tennis and swimming at the Farmington YMCA with her friends and she can’t wait for this year’s Cipriano Classic! She’s walking our beautiful (but sometimes stubborn) dog Hope every day and we are also in the process of training a service dog to help attend to Sal’s seizures.
Tanner is working as a Development Coordinator at OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center where he helps with fundraising, marketing, and event planning, but his true passion continues to be painting, writing, and filmmaking.
We’re excited to announce Isabella will be going into her senior year at the University of Notre Dame next year where she’ll keep working as an athletic trainer for the football team and she’ll start working as an RA for her dorm as well as keep singing in the university’s basilica with the Magnificat choir.
While we have been challenged with our share of adversity this past year, the Cipriano Classic is always a wonderful time for us to reconnect with all of you so we hope to see you all there and we appreciate your ongoing prayers and support in the meantime! 
God bless and JKLP!"
