From the Organizer
The LOC Credit Union 5k Color Run will take place on Saturday, July 18, 2026 during the Farmington Founders Festival. This 5k chip-timed fun run will give participants the opportunity to run through scenic Shiawassee Park and beautiful Downtown Farmington.
This race has something for everyone. If you are a competitive runner this will be an accurate 5k. There will be age group medals for awards along with medals for the Overall Male and Female winner. Positioned within the race route will be four color stations. If you wish to forego the color there will be enough room to breeze straight past them. The entry fee includes a t-shirt if signed up by July 5th, 2026. For those signing up after that date we cannot guarantee runner shirts, at that point they will be on a first come basis until they run out.
If you want to challenge yourself to run or walk a 5k but also have some fun (and COLOR!) along the way then this race is for you! Participants will receive a finisher's medal and there will be refreshments waiting for you at the end.
Pricing: $30 until 5/3, $35 from 5/4 to 7/17, $40 on race day 7/18 (online registration only - t-shirt and finisher medals not guaranteed to race day sign ups and will be on a first come basis until they run out). Children 5 and under can participate with an adult at no charge.
Award categories: Overall Male and Female winners. Age groups male and female: 12 and under, 13-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70and over.
Packet pick up is race day only at Shiawassee Park starting at 7:30 am with the run beginning at 9:00 am.
The race will be chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation. Results will be posted during the race and on the web at Runmichigan.com
