And here in Ann Arbor, participants are invited to a meetup at County Farm Park on Saturday, April 25 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to complete their 5K races together -- all paces welcome.
How it works:
Registration is $34 (with a 2% processing fee) and includes a Happy Little Trees T-shirt, bib number and a finisher’s medal.
Organizers encourage participants to complete their 5K races in Michigan’s great outdoors, though races can be completed anywhere in the continental U.S. if participants live out of state.
