Juneteenth Freedom 5K Run/Walk

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the annual Juneteenth Freedom 5K Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the charming city of Holland, Michigan. This 3.1-mile event, hosted by Maple Avenue Ministries, is more than just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of freedom, equality, and community well-being, actively working to raise awareness about health disparities within the African-American community. The start and finish line can be found at 427 Maple Avenue, setting the stage for a community-focused experience.

Runners and walkers will traverse the local streets of Holland, experiencing a course that, like many in the area, offers paved surfaces. While specific elevation details for this exact route are not available, Holland's terrain can present some "exciting" elevation changes, adding a dynamic element to your 5K journey. Beyond the physical challenge, participants can look forward to an uplifting atmosphere with vendors, CPR demonstrations from Heart Safe of Holland, and health information, including blood pressure checks, provided by InterCare.

Typical race day conditions in mid-June Holland offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 78°F and lows around 58°F, accompanied by a modest 14% chance of precipitation. This event not only encourages healthier living but also serves as a vital fundraiser for Maple Avenue Ministries, supporting their mission to embrace and uplift the community. Join fellow participants in celebrating history, promoting health, and contributing to a great cause.
