Description
The Lake Lansing Team Relay is BACK! Teams of 4 members take turns, relay-style, running or walking the 5.25 miles around Lake Lansing! Individuals can participate too and do a lap around the lake.
We have reserved Lake Lansing Park South in order to accommodate runners and walkers as well as their friends and family. The course will include a combination of paved pathways, sidewalks, trails and open roads that will wind its way along the route with views of the lake.
Each team member will receive a race t-shirt and a commemorative pint glass. Each runner must include their age as well as gender upon registration in order to place them into the appropriate division for awards. There will also be a single-lap individual race, which includes a t-shirt and pint glass but no awards. Runners will be allowed to run more than one leg if they wish, however the average age of the team members will be used to calculate what age group the team will participate within.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Playmakers Fitness Foundation (PFF), a non-profit organization committed to the wellness of the mid-Michigan community. We believe in the transformative powers of running, walking, and moving our bodies, and envision a healthy, connected and thriving community. Our mission is to be of service to our community by providing opportunities for people to move MORE and educational programs that train people to move BETTER. You can join us on this journey by participating in our Premier Events, attending a Good Form clinic, and supporting the foundation through a tax-deductible donation. Thank you for helping us in getting all of mid-Michigan moving more and better!
