Saturday May 1 at Kollen Park. Tiptoe Through the Tulips at the Tulip Time Run! 🌷🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Lace up for the 2027 Tulip Time Run, a highlight of the Tulip Time Festival and one of West Michigan's most beloved spring traditions! Choose from the 5K, 10K, Kids' Dash, or Wooden Shoe Shuffle, all winding through the heart of historic downtown Holland, Michigan. As the morning sun rises, you'll run down streets lined with thousands of vibrant tulips in full bloom. Welkom to Tulip Time Run, a community and family event where neighbors, friends, and families come together to start the week-long Tulip Time Festival. It's also one of West Michigan's largest springtime 5K running events. Run it, jog it, or walk it! About one-third of our 5K and 10K participants are walkers, and we love it that way. Whatever your pace, this is one of the best ways to see thousands of tulips up close. Tulip Time Run is designed for all ages and fitness levels, so bring the whole family. New for 2027: an all-new finisher medal! Every 5K and 10K participant who crosses the finish line will receive our newly designed finisher medal. It’s unique a keepsake from a memorable run in Holland. ✨ Don't wait, Tulip Time Run often sells out! Register early and tiptoe through the tulips with us! 🌷
