Run for the Trees

Group Run for the Trees

On Arbor Day, Friday, April 30, 2027, at 10 a.m. SHINE is hosting a Group Run for the Trees, meeting at the Wildcat Statue. Registration is not required for the Group Run, only if you want the T-shirt, medal, etc. 

If you cannot make the Group Run, you can still register to participate between Earth Day (April 22) and Arbor Day (April 30). You can submit results and photos from April 22 to April 30. Photos and result submissions are not required, but they are a great way to engage with other participants and celebrate your achievement. 

Run for the Trees

Happy Little 5k

No matter how you reach the finish line - walk, run, or roll - you pick the pace and the place, anywhere outdoors! Everyone who participates gets a Happy Little T-shirt, sticker, a commemorative bib number, and a finisher's medal. For good measure, we will be allowing participation between Earth Day, April 22, and Arbor Day, April 30.

All proceeds support tree-planting and forest protection efforts (such as invasive plant and forest pest management and early detection surveys) in state parks and recreation areas, including locations affected by tree pests and diseases like emerald ash borer and oak wilt.
