Color Pop 5k Fun Run

Color Pop 5k Fun Run is held in Lansing, Michigan, on April 10, 2027, as a single 5k Fun Run/Walk (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m. The run/walk format puts runners, walkers, and families on the same course, and the emphasis is on taking part rather than posting a time.

Because the field will be mixed, do not expect a clean lane in the opening quarter mile: if you want to run the whole thing at pace, line up near the front and settle in after the first turn. Otherwise, this is an easy one to enter with no specific preparation beyond regular walking or jogging. A 5K also works well as a spring restart if you have been off training through the Michigan winter, giving you a date on the calendar to build a few consistent weeks around.
