The Candy Cane Course in Lansing, Michigan, offers a Christmas-themed running event in December. Participants can choose from a Kids Dash, an untimed 1 Mile, or timed 5K, 10K, and 15K races. A virtual option is available for those who wish to receive the event shirt and medal without attending in person. The event begins in the morning.
The 5K, 10K, and 15K races utilize chip timing, provide live results, and include awards for overall winners, masters runners, and age groups. The Kids Dash is designed for children aged 10 and under, featuring a mini bib, youth shirt, and medal. The 1 Mile race is untimed. All finishers receive event merchandise, including a custom bib, designer shirt, and event medal. Free photos and treats are available in the finish area. Runners aged 12 and under in the 5K and 10K benefit from youth pricing, and a referral refund is offered when five individuals register using a runner's code.
