14th annual CIpriano classic

Friday, june 6, 2025

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

In 2025, we will have some slight changes to last year's 5K course (scroll down to see map) due to neighborhood construction.  The Cipriano Classic 5K is a fantastic 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 YMCA and Prince of Peace Church.

The 5K will start at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 6.  Early Bird Registration is $35. Starting May 24, at 11:59pm, registration is $40, through 11:59pm on June 5. Race Day registration is available from 4:00-6:30 pm on June 6 at the YMCA for $45.
A Virtual 5K option is available for $45.

If you would like to be a  race sponsor or donate to the Cipriano family online, please visit our Sponsor Tab. If you wish to volunteer, we would love to have you. Click here to volunteer.  
​
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 2024 event raised over $35,000, our 2023 event raised over $44,000, 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 2025 statement from the Cipriano family:
"Hello friends and family,

As we look forward to the fourteenth annual Cipriano Classic, we want to once again thank all of you for your continued love and support.

As many of you probably already know, Sal struggled with more health complications during 2024 when we discovered the shunts in his brain were not working properly, so he had to undergo four surgeries over the course of two months last summer. While he is still working to get back to full strength, he's already made incredible progress and he's excited to be back at the 5K this year to see all of your friendly faces along the course.

When not managing Sal's needs, Rose is still playing tennis and swimming as much as she can so she can't wait for this year's Cipriano Classic!  She's walking our beautiful (and also sometimes stubborn) dog, Hope, every day.

Tanner continues pursuing work in entertainment and animation, and he also started displaying his paintings in art shows and performing stand up comedy.

Despite still being the baby of the family, Isabella is taking full advantage of her final year at University of Notre Dame, where she has been working as an athletic trainer and a dorm RA. We can't believe she'll be graduating this semester and we're thrilled for her to start her next chapter!

While we have been challenged with our share of adversity this past year along with many others around the world, 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.

God bless and JKLP!"
