Twilight Run

Lace up your running shoes for the 24th Annual Twilight Run, a vibrant 5K race taking place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, in the heart of downtown Lansing, Michigan. This beloved evening event invites runners and walkers of all abilities to experience a picturesque out-and-back course along the scenic Lansing River Trail. Beginning and ending at 200 Museum Drive, the route offers a beautiful backdrop as participants race under the twilight sky.

The Twilight Run is celebrated for its community spirit and accessible design, making it a fantastic experience whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a casual stroll. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature comfortable temperatures, with highs around 80F and lows around 58F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for an evening run. Your accurate chip time and current overall and age group place will be conveniently texted directly to your phone. Beyond the finish line, celebrate your achievement with awards for the top three finishers in each age group. A unique aspect of this event is its commitment to giving back, with proceeds directly supporting local high school and middle school cross country and track programs, as well as youth running clubs through the Michigan Running Foundation grant program.
