The Woldumar Trail Run is an annual early-morning trail event at Woldumar Nature Center in Delta Township, Michigan.

The event is the nature center’s largest fundraiser of the year, attracting about 250 participants. It originated from an idea by members and volunteers. The field now includes adults on the main trail routes and younger runners in the Delta Dental Muskrat Mile, a one-mile course designed for aspiring athletes.

Lansing Turkey Trot startuje rano w Święto Dziękczynienia na Grand Ave, przed budynkiem Gannon Building, przy Lansing Community College. To 5K odbywa się w centrum Lansing, Michigan, i przyciąga ponad 5,000 uczestników z Michigan i innych regionów. Start jest celowo elastyczny: biegacze i maszerujący mogą przekroczyć linię startu przez jakiś czas po 9:00 rano, a twój czas liczy się dopiero, jak przebiegniesz przez maty z chipem. Szybsi biegacze niech ustawią się z przodu, a maszerujący i rodziny mogą startować z tyłu i iść swoim tempem. Trasa na 3.1-mile ma start i metę przy Lansing Community College, przebiega przez Downtown Lansing i mija choinkę pod State Capitol. Bieg jest dla każdego – od ambitnych biegaczy walczących o nagrody w kategoriach open, masters, grand masters i wiekowych, po rodziny, które traktują to jako swój świąteczny poranny spacer. W pakiecie startowym dostaniesz koszulkę z długim rękawem, a jak nie możesz przyjechać, to jest też opcja wirtualnego udziału – wtedy koszulkę i numer startowy wysyłają pocztą. To wydarzenie to główna zbiórka kasy dla Michigan Running Foundation, a zebrane środki i datki idą na programy biegowe dla młodzieży w całym Michigan.

The Ugly Sweater 5k is a holiday-themed 5k fun run offered both in-person and virtually. Participants can register, don their festive attire, and use the event as a relaxed way to stay active during winter while fundraising for food relief.

The cause is a core focus: race information highlights a significant increase in U.S. food insecurity, affecting millions and particularly children. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and those seeking festive exercise, not solely competitive racers, making the ugly sweater a key element.
