Mayor’s River Walk & Run

Join Mayor Andy Schor and the Lansing community for a fun and scenic 5K run/walk along the Lansing River Trail. Starting at Potter Park, this event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages for a morning of movement, fresh air, and community connection.

The course features fun activity stations along the way—perfect for keeping kids engaged and making the experience even more enjoyable for families.

Every participant receives a t-shirt, finisher medal, and snacks at the finish line. Competitive runners will also receive matching socks and have the chance to earn prizes for top finishes in each age group, with professional timing by the Michigan Running Foundation and live results during the race.

Early packet pickup is available June 10–11 from 3–6 PM at the Foster Center, with race day pickup beginning at 8:00 AM at Potter Park.

Proceeds and donations from the event support the Friends of the Lansing Regional Trails, helping maintain and grow the trail system for the community.
