Detroit Techno 5K at Fort Wayne

Detroit Techno 5K is set for Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Historic Fort Wayne on Detroit’s southwest riverfront, according to the event website and RunSignup listing. The event is billed as a professionally timed 5K run and walk tied to Movement weekend, with live DJs on the course and a post-race DJ set after the finish. (runsignup.com) Visit Detroit lists the event hours as 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 6325 W. Jefferson Ave. The race is open to a mix of competitive runners, casual joggers and walkers, organizers say. ### When and where is the run? (techno5k.com) Saturday, May 23, is the race date listed across the event’s official site, RunSignup page and Historic Fort Wayne calendar. Historic Fort Wayne, a city-owned site on West Jefferson Avenue along the Detroit River, is the venue named in each listing. Visit Detroit gives the address as 6325 W. Jefferson Ave., Detroit, Michigan 48209. RunSignup lists a 10:00 a.m. EDT start time, while third-party event calendars say on-site registration begins at 10 a.m. and the race starts at 11 a.m. Because the official registration page surfaced in search with the 10:00 a.m. time, that is the clearest confirmed timing available from primary listings reviewed here. (techno5k.com) ### What makes this different from a standard 5K? Detroit Techno 5K is marketed as a race built around Detroit’s techno heritage as much as around running. The event website says the course blends movement, music and community ahead of Movement weekend. (techno5k.com) Visit Detroit says runners will take on the route with a live techno soundtrack and post-race festivities beyond the finish line. Historic Fort Wayne’s event page says the race features a scenic course through the fort grounds. Other event listings describe DJs placed along the route and a finish-line party, details that match the broader description on the official site of a post-race DJ set and community celebration. (runsignup.com) ### Who can sign up, and what does registration include? Visit Detroit says the event is open to all paces and backgrounds. The promotional language on event listings says participants can run, jog, walk or otherwise move through the course, positioning the event as accessible beyond traditional road-race runners. (techno5k.com) RunSignup lists the current race fee at $69.50 plus a $6.07 sign-up fee, after an earlier price of $64.50 plus fees that expired after May 15 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Several listings say registration includes a custom race shirt, a finisher’s medal and access to the post-race DJ set. (historicfortwayne.org) ### Is there a named music lineup? Resident Advisor lists Jack Beats on the event page for the May 23 race at Fort Wayne. The event website pages surfaced in search results do not name a performer in the available snippets, but multiple music-event listings tie Jack Beats to the finish-line party. (visitdetroit.com) Movement weekend is referenced in the official event description as the backdrop for the race. That places the 5K within a broader Memorial Day weekend schedule in Detroit that draws electronic music fans to the city. (runsignup.com) ### Where should people look for final details? RunSignup, the Detroit Techno 5K website and Visit Detroit all carry current event information for Saturday’s race. Historic Fort Wayne’s calendar also lists the event, and The News-Herald included it in a May 14 roundup of metro Detroit activities. As of Thursday, May 21, the confirmed details reviewed online point to a Saturday event at Historic Fort Wayne with registration and race information posted ahead of the weekend.
