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.

To wydarzenie to główna zbiórka kasy dla Michigan Running Foundation, a zebrane środki i datki idą na programy biegowe dla młodzieży w całym Michigan.
