Trail Town 10K & 5K

Lansing, Michigan's premier Trail Town 10K & 5K invites runners and walkers of all paces to experience the beauty of the Lansing River Trail on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Starting and finishing at Potter Park, this event offers participants the choice of a 6.2-mile or 3.1-mile journey along the scenic river trail, providing picturesque views and the vibrant "sights and sounds" of the Lansing region's valuable trail system. While the 10K route may feature a minor detour due to construction, runners are assured that the course will remain entirely along the beloved river trail.

Runners can anticipate a well-supported experience, with a water station conveniently located at the 5K turnaround, just south of Impression 5. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 82°F and lows around 60°F, with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, creating a generally pleasant atmosphere for a summer run. The Trail Town 10K & 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration of the community's trails, with proceeds directly benefiting the Friends of the Lansing Regional Trails to support their ongoing efforts in maintaining and expanding a safe and clean trail network.

This professionally timed event by the Michigan Running Foundation is known for its excellent organization, drawing participants to enjoy a classic Michigan race experience along a dynamic course. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a scenic run, the Trail Town 10K & 5K promises a rewarding outing on Lansing's cherished river trails.
