🌈 Color Run Experience

We are excited to announce that this year’s 5K will once again be a COLOR RUN! With mental health at the forefront of our vision, we felt it was important to continue this race as a color run. Bringing color into our race symbolizes bringing hope for mental health, especially for students in our community.

A Note from the White Lake Nutrition RunIt 5K Team:

We are so excited for this year’s 5K on Saturday, July 26th! Being able to work within the community we love, for a cause that is close to many of our hearts, has been an incredible experience.

Mental health matters. We recognize the importance of raising awareness in our community and beyond. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, community members, and each race participant, we have been able to fund vital mental health resources. We hope this year’s race continues to bring hope and support to our community.

Race proceeds will be directed to the Ava VanderStelt Scholarship 501(c)(3) and mental health initiatives for students. (More details to come.)
