Event overview
The Run White Lake Color Run takes place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Whitehall, Michigan. It is the 5th Annual Run White Lake 5K and is held as part of the White Lake Area Maritime Festival. The event includes two 5K options:
- 5K - Timed run (chipped)

The race is organized by White Lake Nutrition in partnership with Bridge & Bloom Project and Run White Lake teams.
