Overview

Hosted by Bodies Race Company, this local-themed event brings spring energy to Lansing’s Porter Park with a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1‑mile fun run, and kids’ dash—making it a festival of fitness for all.

Kicking off at 7 am, the half marathon follows a chip-timed out‑and‑back route along paved trails and neighborhood roads through Michigan capital greenery. The course is gently rolling, friendly for PR chasers and novices alike, with pacers available to support goal pacing . Aid stations, volunteers, and mile‑marker signage ensure a smooth, community‑focused race experience.

Runners receive standout swag—a designer tech shirt, custom finisher medal, free photos, and post-race treats at the finish. Youth pricing (12 & under: $17 for 5K/10K), virtual race options, and a kid’s dash reinforce the family-friendly atmosphere.

What sets this race apart is its hometown spirit—mixing club vibes, live results, and “biggest team” contests—without sacrificing quality amenities like chip timing, awards, and pacing. A local runner noted it’s “perfect for the whole family” with “plenty of fun”.
