Event summary
This year's event is particularly special as it coincides with Earth Day on April 22 and Arbor Day on April 24, making it a fantastic way to honor the environment while promoting tree-planting and forest protection efforts. Don't forget to capture your journey and share your experience on social media using the hashtags #RunForTheTrees, #BobRoss, #HappyLittle5K, and #MiStateParks. Registration closes on April 10, 2026, or earlier if the 14,000-participant cap is reached, so be sure to sign up early to secure your spot and receive your race packet in time.
Organiser's Description
Result and photo submissions can be made the weekend before Earth Day and the weekend after Arbor Day for those that can't complete their 5K during the work week. Photos and result submissions are not required, but it is a great way to engage with other participants and celebrate your achievement. When posting about your adventure on social media, we encourage you to use #RunForTheTrees #BobRoss #HappyLittle5K #MiStateParks
Packets will start mailing next March, in time for the April event. With the Happy Little Trees 5K filling up faster than a Bob Ross canvas, you'll want to register early to secure your spot.
All proceeds support tree-planting and forest protection efforts (such as invasive plant and forest pest management and early detection surveys) in state parks and recreation areas, including locations affected by tree pests and diseases like emerald ash borer and oak wilt.
Registration closes April 10 - or earlier if the 14,000-participant cap is reached to ensure timely shipping of race T-shirts, bibs and finisher medals.
