The 5k race begins at 6pm in the east end of Kollen Park (near the playground and picnic pavilion). The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk will begin just a few minutes later from the same starting point. Route maps will be available! We'll be using the City of Holland's 5k Route #3. In 2026, a few route modifications may be required due to road construction.
