Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the exciting "Run for the Trees: Happy Little (Virtual) 5K," taking place from April 18 to April 26, 2026, in Lansing, Ingham! This unique virtual event allows participants to choose their own pace and location, making it perfect for everyoneβ€”whether you prefer to walk, run, or roll. Celebrate Earth Day on April 22 and Arbor Day on April 24 by joining a community dedicated to environmental stewardship. Each participant will receive a Happy Little T-shirt, sticker, commemorative bib number, and a finisher's medal, creating a memorable experience for all.

With the flexibility to complete your 5K anytime during the event window, you can submit your results and photos to connect with fellow participants and showcase your achievement. Don't forget to share your journey on social media using #RunForTheTrees, #BobRoss, #HappyLittle5K, and #MiStateParks! Registration opens soon, so be sure to reserve your spot early for this fantastic cause that supports tree-planting and forest protection efforts in state parks. Join us in making a positive impact while enjoying the great outdoors!

Organiser's Description

No matter how you reach the finish line - walk, run or roll - you pick the pace and the place, anywhere outdoors! Everyone who participates gets a Happy Little T-shirt, sticker, a commemorative bib number and finisher's medal. For good measure, we will be allowing participation between April 18 and 26 to encompass Earth Day (April 22) and Arbor Day (April 24).

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.
