Stars Stripes & Splatter 5K - June 29th

Stars Stripes & Splatter

Stars, Stripes, and Splatter 5k returns June 29 for a morning of patriotic family-friendly fun!

Stars, Stripes, and Splatter is a color run style event with color stations featuring patriotic colors. The 3.1-mile course starts at Jazz Live Field on the grounds of Grand Traverse Resort and Spa and loops back to the start area. Show up early and get decked out in complimentary red, white, and blue swag so that you hit the road in style. Along the run route, you will run through five color stations.

The race ends with an after-party with refreshments, an inflatable obstacle course, group color toss, awards, and a spray down area. Don't forget your wallet — our volunteer partners, Habitat for Humanity-Grand Traverse Region will be running a dunk tank to fund raise!

Kids Run For Free!

Of course, it's not a family friendly race without the whole family! Registration is free for children 12 and under with an adult entry. Children must pre-register to receive their complimentary entry.
