Run White Lake Color Run

A Note from the Run White Lake 5k Team

We’re excited to announce the 5th Annual Run White Lake 5K—happening Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 9 AM as part of the White Lake Area Maritime Festival!

This year, our race continues to run with purpose.

Out of that purpose came Bridge & Bloom Project, a nonprofit dedicated to helping students thrive—body, mind, and spirit—through mentorship, nutrition, mental health awareness, and leadership development. Together, we’re bridging gaps in access, care, and belonging to help the next generation grow strong and confident.

Let’s make this year’s race another step forward in building a community where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered.
We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
