❊ The Zaman Run Team
About the Team
The Zaman Detroit Run Team is more than just a group of runners. We are a community committed to turning miles into meaningful impact. Founded in 2015 to support Zaman's mission of helping lift women and children out of poverty, the team brings together individuals of all ages and abilities who believe in the power of movement and service.
Each year, our team plays a major role in bringing the Run Walk Picnic to life. From organizing logistics to leading the 5K and Kids' Runs, our volunteers and runners work year-round to ensure the event is a powerful day of community, hope, and purpose.
Whether you join us to train, volunteer, or simply share your energy on event day, you'll be part of something bigger: a team that runs with heart.

Official Charity Partner:
Detroit Free Press Marathon
Zaman and the Zaman Detroit Run Team are proud to be an official charity partner of the 2025 Detroit Free Press Marathon, Michigan's largest road race and one of the premier marathons in the United States. Taking place October 17–19, this internationally recognized event draws tens of thousands of runners and spectators each year, offering a unique course that crosses into Canada and back.
As charity partners, our team will be running the full and half marathons to raise funds and awareness for Zaman's mission of helping women and children in Southeast Michigan break the cycle of poverty.
Through this partnership, every mile becomes a mission: a chance to uplift lives through food, shelter, clothing, crisis assistance, vocational skills training in English literacy, sewing, and the culinary arts, as well as infant burial support through the Plots for Tots program.
Help us reach our $15,000 fundraising goal by making a donation today.
Together, one step at a time, we can be the hope for a family in need.
