Camp Sunshine Run for the Sun
Camp Sunshine Run for the Sun is a community running event held on August 5 at Kollen Park in Holland, Michigan, beside Lake Macatawa. The event includes a 5 km race and a 1 mile fun run/walk that start from the east end of the park near the playground and picnic pavilion.
Distances:
- 5 km race
- 1 mile fun run/walk
The race location is Kollen Park, 240 Kollen Park Drive, Holland MI 49423. Limited parking is available on the east end of the park where the event begins; there is additional street parking nearby and parking in the west area of Kollen Park near the boat launch, which requires a short walk to the start area.
Bib pickup and packet distribution take place adjacent to the starting line in the east end of Kollen Park. Participants who reserved a shirt size by the deadline may pick up their shirts; a limited number of shirts will be available afterward on a first-come basis.
Event amenities include the Polar Patrol treat truck offering free treats. Route maps will be available and the event will use the City of Holland 5k Route #3 with possible modifications in 2026 due to road construction; the route will be clearly marked.
Since 2009 the event has been held to raise awareness and support for Camp Sunshine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
