Registration for this event, which is a collaboration between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Bob Ross, Inc. and a dozen other states, opens this Saturday, Nov. 1. 
  
    
       
      Participants receive a Happy Little T-shirt, sticker, commemorative bib and finisher’s medal, and may select their preferred state to support with their registration.
