Recurring 10K races near Lansing-East Lansing
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K, Kids Superhero Run
The Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K and Kids Superhero Run is a fall race day held at Consumer's Plaza in downtown Jackson, Michigan. The start and finish are located in front of the old post office, which is now Consumers Energy headquarters. The event offers adults a 10K run, 5K run, or 5K walk, and children 10 and under can participate in the Kids Superhero Run.
The course is designed using the best sections from previous races and is professionally timed by the Michigan Running Foundation. The children's run embraces the superhero theme, encouraging costumes and providing a goodie bag, a finisher medal keychain, and a free scoop of ice cream from RJ's Burgers & Ice Cream. Participants in the 5K and 10K races receive a shirt, a finisher medal, and a $10 certificate for downtown Jackson businesses. This race is part of the ORS Race Series, sponsored by Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, and benefits the Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity Garrett Family Fundraiser.
Yankee Springs Fall Festival
Yankee Springs Fall Festival is a trail running event held at Deep Lake Campground near Middleville, Michigan, starting and finishing within the campground. Participants can select a 10k-ish loop, a 25k loop, or a 50k composed of two 25k laps. The shortest race measures closer to seven miles than a standard 10k, indicating a preference for trail-running flexibility over road-running exactness.
The courses feature rolling single track in the Yankee Springs area. The 10k-ish loop has one aid station, while the 25k route includes four. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and a selection of sweet and salty snacks. Runners in the 50k may have pacers during their second lap. Camping is integrated into the event; Deep Lake provides primitive sites adjacent to the start and finish, and the nearby Gun Lake Campground offers sites with running water and electrical hookups. Race entry includes a long-sleeve tech shirt or buff. The event utilizes trails also used for the organizers' spring and winter races.
Spooky Sprint - Grand Rapids
The Spooky Sprint in Caledonia, Michigan, southeast of Grand Rapids, is a Halloween-themed running event held annually at Caledonia High School. It offers a variety of race options, including a kids dash, an untimed 1-mile run, a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a virtual race. A unique 'Volunteer then Run' entry is also available, allowing families and runners of all distances to participate together.
The 5K, 10K, and half marathon feature chip timing, live results, awards, a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The 1-mile run, though untimed, includes the main race's merchandise. The kids dash is designed for children 10 and under, providing a mini bib, youth shirt, and kids medal; children can participate in the dash without charge on race day if they forgo the swag. Finish-line treats and complimentary participant photos enhance the Halloween atmosphere, and the virtual race allows participation from any location while still receiving the shirt and medal.
Michigan Monster Dash
The Michigan Monster Dash is a Halloween-themed run and walk held at Kensington Metropark in Milford, Michigan. The start and finish are located at Maple Beach by Kent Lake. Finish Line Runs, a race group from the Detroit/Ann Arbor area, organizes the event, typically scheduled for late October. Participants can select from a 1k Kids Dash, 5k, 10k, or half marathon. A virtual option is available for each distance, allowing individuals to run from home, a treadmill, or a local path.
The in-person course winds through Kensington’s wooded area and is described as relatively flat, emphasizing the Halloween atmosphere over a challenging route. Costumes are highly encouraged, contributing to a family-friendly feel across all events, from the kids’ dash to the longer distances. The race supports Make-A-Wish Michigan, with participant contributions exceeding $8,000 for the charity. Previous race perks have included discount coupons from Dick’s in Novi, chocolate milk from Horizon Organic, and jerky packs from Jack Link’s.
Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Lansing, MI (43)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M is a late-October running event in Lansing, Michigan, offering four distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. All races begin at 9:30 AM. Advance registration is required through RunSignup, as there is no race-day signup available on site.
The courses are straightforward out-and-backs. The 5K completes one loop, the 10K completes two, the half marathon completes four, and the marathon completes eight. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. Participants should anticipate a park vehicle fee upon entry, charged per car, not per person.
The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot
JACKSON TURKEY TROT (Michigan)
The Jackson Turkey Trot begins at the Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, Michigan, on Thanksgiving Day. This community road race offers a 5K run, 5K walk, 10K run, kids run, and a virtual 5K. Elite 5K run and walk divisions are included, which count for ORS Points in Michigan.
The race route winds through Ella Sharp Park, a 500-acre city park featuring tree-lined roads. The event accommodates families, walkers, club runners, children, and competitive athletes. Professional chip timing provides immediate results for finishers. This event, now in its third decade, is a local Thanksgiving family tradition.
Turkey Trails- Lansing
Candy Cane Course - Lansing
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.
Holiday 5K, 10K, 13.1M at Hawk Island Park, Lansing, MI (52)
Pi Day 5k: a 3.14 Miler
The Pi Day 5k: a 3.14 Miler is a 3.14-mile run or walk at Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan, held for Pi Day. Epic Races presents it as Michigan's Original Pi Run, with the distance matching the first three digits of pi instead of the standard 5K length.
The course uses a specially designed circular loop, so the route plays into the pi theme as much as the distance does. Runners and walkers share the event, and the finish leads into a post-race party with complimentary pie and refreshments. Each participant gets a commemorative Pi Run shirt and a finisher medal, with early registration used to lock in shirt size.

About 10K races in Lansing-East Lansing
Lansing-East Lansing Training Notes
Lansing-East Lansing hosts 25 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals build most runs around the Lansing River Trail, MSU River Trail, and MSU Campus pathways. The Lansing River Trail gives you nearly 20 miles of paved trail with varied experiences, and it keeps base miles simple between Downtown, Old Town, REO Town, Potter Park Zoo, and Rotary Park. East Lansing Run Club meets at Valley Court Park on Wednesday evenings at 6PM and Saturday mornings at 8AM for casual, at your own pace, 5k group runs. Capital City River Run, Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5k/10k - Lansing, Lansing Half Marathon, Trail Town 10K & 5K, and Lansing Turkey Trot anchor the calendar.
Locals ride easygoing bike paths like the Lansing River Trail and Hawk Meadow Trail, then head toward the Delta Mills Trail and Capital City Bird Sanctuary Loop for a bigger effort. Capital City Cycling Club, TNR Cycling Club, Great Rides Lansing, and Tri-County Bicycle Association keep the group-ride side active. The typical loop runs 3 km with 140 m of climbing. The climbs sit mostly east, with rolling hills that won't beat you up with elevation, plus Burchfield Park singletrack for harder days.
Fall treats Lansing-East Lansing best, and locals usually point the key running races there. Summer brings steady Z2 on shaded park trails, short intervals on MSU Campus pathways, and the 2026 DALMAC - Dick Allen Lansing to MACkinaw Bicycle Tour as the end-of-summer anchor event for riders. Winter changes the texture more than the habit. The MSU River Trail and MSU Campus pathways stay clear and accessible in winter months, so runners keep weekday miles moving, while cyclists shift toward cleared pavement, careful spins, and the kind of base miles that make spring crit, gran fondo, cyclocross, and singletrack plans feel close again.
