About the Run for the House
The courses start and finish at a credit union headquarters campus in East Lansing, running out along sidewalks on West Road and looping through a neighboring parking lot before returning on the campus's paved trails. The longer distance does the loop twice. Kids have their own routes on the same campus, with pacers running alongside to keep them on track.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at Playmakers, a local running store in Okemos, with race-morning pickup available at the headquarters before the start. Parking is on site; look for the volunteers in yellow vests directing traffic flow.

The Run for the House has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
