Wayne Law's 41st Annual Ambulance Chase 5K
About this Event
Wayne Law’s Annual Ambulance Chase 5K is back! Join us Oct. 17 at 10 AM to run for a cause—benefiting the Innocence Project!
Wayne Law’s Student Board of Governors is excited to announce this year’s Annual Ambulance Chase 5K!
The Ambulance Chase is a long-standing Wayne Law tradition—a 5K walk/run through the Wayne State campus that brings together students, faculty, alumni, and the broader legal community.
This year’s race will benefit the Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal organization advocating policy changes for criminal justice reform and freeing wrongfully convicted individuals through DNA testing.
Since its founding in 1992, the Innocence Project has helped exonerate hundreds of innocent people and reshape the American justice system.
This year’s race will take place on October 17th at 10 a.m. outside the law school.
PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE THIS YEAR'S 2026 5K T-SHIRT. TROPHIES WILL BE GIVEN TO THE TOP THREE RACE FINISHERS.
