Colors for Hope 5K

Lace up for a cause that truly matters at the Colors for Hope 5K, set to take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in the charming community of Montague, Michigan. This inspiring event offers participants the chance to complete a 3.1-mile (5K) distance, with options for both a timed run/walk and a non-timed walk, starting bright and early at 9:00 AM EDT from 8636 Water St..

More than just a race, the Colors for Hope 5K is a heartfelt tribute established by a family in 2022 to honor the memory of their daughter, Ava Rose, and to champion mental health awareness. All proceeds from this impactful community event directly support local scholarships and vital community programs through the Ava VanderStelt Scholarship Fund, ensuring that every step taken helps to shine a light on mental health and support those in need. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in late July, with comfortable highs around 81°F and lows near 59°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a memorable run or walk along what promises to be a pleasant course through Montague.
