What is included in my registration?

Virtual 5K: Race shirt and medal
Color Run: Color run, color run shirt, medal, and kid's activities
Spectator Pass: Access to the secure area to watch the 5K on the runway and kid's activities

Can I bring a stroller?
Yes! Strollers are allowed during the race, but must not have anything that can be thrown or fly off. 

 
I purchased a memorial sign.  What's next?
Great question!  You can email your name and a picture for your memorial sign to admin@childrensgriefglbr.org.  After the race, we will have the signs available for pickup both at the race site and back our Midland office. Memorial signs will be distributed after all runners have completed the 5K. Please DO NOT take your memorial sign off the runway, volunteers will grab it for you! (This is mandated by TSA!)

Want to see what they have looked like in the past? See an example below!

 
 
Where are the runs happening?
Both the 5K and the Color Run are happening at MBS International Airport at 8500 Garfield Rd. in Freeland.  
The 5K will take place on the runway and the Color Run will take place on the grass just outside the secure area.  
 
Can I bring my pets?
For the safety of all participants we need you to keep your pets home.
