The Glitter 5K
Where the Community Loop celebrates connection, The Glitter 5K ignites forward momentum.
This energizing course winds through rows of lavender and open farmland at Lucky Clover Farm in Gaylord, MI, offering both peaceful beauty and purposeful movement. Inspired by the power of a single spark to begin something greater, this run celebrates strength, resilience, and the courage to keep moving.
Whether you run, jog, or walk, The Glitter 5K invites you to challenge yourself while surrounded by nature, encouragement, and community spirit.
The terrain includes trail and field; courses will be clearly marked. The course is flat, fast, and scenic with incredible views.
The Mighty Glitter Mile: The Community Loop
Short, bold, and full of sparkle, The Mighty Glitter Mile is our signature Community Loop, a joyful out-and-back course woven through rows of lavender.
Its pack-and-forth design allows participants to see and cheer each other on throughout the entire mile, creating a powerful atmosphere of encouragement, connection, and celebration. Every step is visible. Every participant is supported. Every voice matters.
Walk it. Run it. Dance it. Shine your way to the finish line.
Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome for all distances. This is a family-friendly event. Please no pets.
Following the event, Lucky Clover Farm will be offering discounted You-Pick lavender opportunities for participants and guests. Please note that You-Pick experiences are available at a special event rate and are not included in registration fees.
We encourage you to explore the scenic fields, discover their locally crafted products, and enjoy more of what makes this venue such a special part of our community.
