Event summary
Every participant will receive a fun Happy Little T-shirt, a commemorative bib number, a sticker, and a finisher's medal to commemorate their achievement. Plus, you can contribute to a great cause: all proceeds from the event support critical tree-planting and forest protection initiatives in state parks and recreation areas. With a participant cap of 14,000, be sure to register early before the April 1 deadline to secure your spot. Don't miss this chance to join fellow nature lovers and make a positive impact—let's run for the trees!
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 1 or earlier if the 14,000-participant cap is reached to ensure timely shipping of race T-shirts, bibs and finisher medals.
