The Strides for Adam event is an annual endurance race, including a 5k run, walk, and a reflection walk, with an option for virtual participation. The event honours Adam Holten, who passed away in 2018, and aims to continue his legacy of service to others. It supports a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping high school graduates pursue careers in service. Participants are awarded finisher medals and t-shirts, with additional awards for top finishers in various categories. Virtual participants receive a shirt and medal by mail, though they are not eligible for awards. The Michigan Running Foundation manages race timing.
