  TART Trails and Up North Pride are hosting the annual Rainbow Run, a color fun run and fundraiser around the Boardman Lake Loop Trail. On June 20, 2026, the event will celebrate the trail systems and the Northern Michigan 2SLGBTQ+ Community during Pride Month. Participants and spectators will be invited to Hull Park to enjoy music and refreshments before and after the run.

  The run/walk route will take participants counterclockwise around the 4-mile Boardman Lake Loop Trail. There will be five distinct and separated stations along the route for participants to receive their colors. All participants who register by May 30th will receive a branded white t-shirt. We will be using a powder made of colored cornstarch that will be human, fish, and environment-friendly and will wash out after a rain to have no long-lasting effects on the park or the City infrastructure. The trail will stay open for public use so please be kind to other trail users.

  When

  Friday, June 19, 2026 - packet pick up | Fleet Feet, downtown Traverse City

  4:00-7:00 pm | packet pick up / check-in

  Saturday, June 20, 2026 - race day | Hull Park, Boardman Lake Loop Trail

  8:00 am | late packet pick up / check in

  9:00 am | run / walk start

  12:00 pm | event ends

  Where

  Hull Park | 660 Hannah Ave, Traverse City, Michigan 49686

  Route

  The run/walk route will take participants counterclockwise around the 4-mile Boardman Lake Loop Trail. Water and bathrooms will be available at Hull Park and Medalie Park. Five distinct color stations will also offer water along the route.

  Waves

  Participants will identify themselves as runners or walkers at check-in and will be assigned a wave. There will be 8 waves that start 2 minutes apart. Each wave will be limited to 50 participants. There will be designated waiting areas for each wave.

  This is done so people will generally start and run/walk most of the event near people of their own abilities and speeds. This will also prevent participants from waiting in line to receive their color spray at each color station along the route.

  Who benefits

  Proceeds will be split between Up North Pride and TART Trails

  What is the cost?

  Pre-Registration | $25 Student (17 and under) / $30 Adult (18+) | must register by May 30th to guarantee a t-shirt & early bird pricing

  May 31st price increase | $30 Student (17 and under) / $35 Adult (18+)

  Parking & Bathrooms

  Public Parking is available across the street from the Traverse Area District Library, at the Department of Public Services (DPS) at 625 Woodmere Ave. (The large back lot is accessible from Hannah Ave.) For safety, we ask that you use either the crosswalk directly in front of the library, or at the Woodmere/Hannah intersection. There is also limited pull-in parking along the railroad tracks on the east side of Hull Park.

  The Public Restrooms in Hull Park open around 7 am. There are also restrooms just inside the library, which opens at 9am, and at Medalie Park on the far side of the course.

  Packet Pick Up

  Join us for packet pick up on Friday, June 19 between 4 to 7 pm at Fleet Feet in downtown Traverse City! Grab your t-shirt, wave assignment and stick around for lots of fun. Check-in and packet pick up will also be available Saturday morning at Hull Park beginning at 8 am.

  Inclement Weather Information

  Come out to support our local Lake City Trojan students and athletes! All proceeds from this event go directly to Lake City Boosters.

  The 5k and 10k courses are fast, flat routes winding along beautiful Lake Missaukee and through downtown Lake City decked in its patriotic finest! The 2K Fun Run welcomes participants of all ages, especially the littlest racers to run through Missaukee County Park and along the beach's boardwalk.

  Don't forget to plan on joining us afterwards for the Fourth of July parade downtown and fireworks in the evening over Lake Missaukee!

  RACE ROUTE & REGISTRATIONS CHANGES: Due to some major construction work right in downtown this summer, our race route must be altered a bit from previous years. Registration will also not take place at the city park area. It will take place just north of Forest Area Federal Credit Union, 101 Main St, Lake City, MI 49651. Apologies for the inconveniences, but with the building projects, our typical check in and finish area cannot be as usual. We hope to return to that area in Summer 2027!

  Schedule

  Race check-in/packet pickup: Friday, July 3; 5:00 to 7:00 pm, north of Forest Area Federal Credit Union, 101 Main St, Lake City, MI 49651

  Same day race check-in: Friday, July 4; 6:00 to 7:00 am
