About the Trail Town 10K & 5K
The course follows the Lansing River Trail, so the terrain is path rather than pavement and the surroundings stay natural throughout. It is a point-to-point or out-and-back along the river corridor, which keeps the route simple to follow and the scenery consistent. Proceeds go toward maintaining and expanding the regional trail network, so the race has a purpose beyond the finish line.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a location on the south side of the city, with a second option at the start line on race morning. Both options are available, so there is flexibility depending on how your morning goes.

The Trail Town 10K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2019. 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.
