    Run for the Trees / Happy Little Virtual 5K

    April 22-30, 2021

    No matter how you reach the finish line – walk, run or hike – you pick the pace and the place, as long as it's outdoors. You have between April 22-30, 2021 to complete it. For good measure, Earth Day and Arbor Day serve as bookends to this state parks-supporting race!

    All proceeds support Happy Little tree-planting and preservation efforts in state parks!
