This 5k and 10k run kicks off the warm-weather running season. Part of the annual Lilac Festival, the run starts at Highland Park, winds through Brighton and ends back at the festival grounds where pancakes, mimosas, and live music are waiting. Prefer a more laid back run? Check out the Donut Dash 1-mile fun run for all ages. (And yes, there is a doughnut pit stop.)
