Candy Cane Course - Lansing

Candy Cane Course - Lansing takes place in Lansing, Michigan, on December 13, 2026, with a 9:00 a.m. start for every distance. The schedule lists a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K, a 5K, a one-mile run and a 100-meter Kids Dash for children 10 and under, who get a mini bib, a youth-size shirt and their own medal.

Everything about this Christmas-themed morning points toward the family end of the sport rather than the competitive one, though the timed distances still let you race. Pick the 5K or the mile if you are new to running or bringing kids along; take the 15K if you want a real effort before the winter break. Entry brings a branded shirt, a personalized medal, chip timing, live results and free photos, with treats and activities at the finish, and a virtual option if you cannot travel.
