About
Be the Light - Glow in the Dark 5K takes place in Holland, Michigan, on September 11, 2027. It is a single 5K (3.1 miles), the Be the Light 5K Run, starting at 7:30 p.m. and run as night falls.
The event supports Beacon of Hope, a nonprofit counseling organization that provides free support, and raises awareness of mental health, particularly among young people. The 5K is short enough for walkers and occasional runners to tackle without specific training, while still offering a fast target for anyone chasing a time. With an evening start, plan your last meal a few hours ahead and choose gear suited to low light.
