Join Downtown Holland and Holland Parks & Recreation for a 5K through beautiful Downtown Holland. The entire route will take advantage of Holland's unique snowmelt system, allowing runners & walkers to enjoy an obstacle and hazard-free course, even in the middle of winter. Racers will receive a finisher medal and a pair of "Holland on Ice" branded cozy gloves. This 5K run/walk is part of Downtown Holland's annual Holland on Ice festival, so racers can stick around Downtown Holland all weekend to take in the live ice carving, great sales, and winter themed food & drink specials at local restaurants.
The Kids' Mini Melt will also take place, giving even the youngest runners a chance to participate in all the fun. The Mini Melt will be a .2 mile non-competitive dash down 8th Street Marketplace and back. The Mini Melt begins at 9:00 AM, an hour after the official Snowmelt 5K begins. Parents and guardians may participate alongside their mini runners if they'd like. Mini Melt participants will receive a finisher ribbon, race bib, and get to partake in after dash snacks and refreshments. Open to ages 7 and under.
