Join us for our 17th Annual Escape to Belle Isle Race! Every dollar raised helps Ronald McDonald House Charities Detroit provide a comfortable place for families to stay close to their children and their medical teams by providing places for families to find comfort, warm meals, transportation to and from the hospitals and even overnight stays; relieving financial and geographical burdens for the families of children receiving care in Metro Detroit! For a sick child, there's nothing better than the comfort of having mom and dad at their side.

Learn more about the host city, Detroit.
Detroit is a major metropolis in the US state of Michigan that has had a profound impact on the world. From the advent of the automotive assembly line to the Motown sound, modern techno and rock music, Detroit continues to shape both American and global culture. The city has seen many of its historic buildings renovated, and is bustling with new developments and attractions that complement its world-class museums and theatres. After a long economic slump and decrease in population, Detroit has developed a reputation for crime and urban decline, but revitalization means that it is an exciting destination filled with technological advance and historic charm.
