Here are a few details about the event:

The 5k race begins at 6pm in the east end of Kollen Park (near the playground and picnic pavilion). The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk will begin just a few minutes later from the same starting point. Route maps will be available! We'll be using the City of Holland's 5k Route #3. In 2026, a few route modifications may be required due to road construction. We'll make sure the route is marked clearly! 

Since 2009, Run for the Sun has been an opportunity for campers, counselors, donors, families, friends, and sponsors to join together in raising awareness and support for Camp Sunshine.
