The Welcome Run moves through a neighborhood course in Lansing, so expect residential streets rather than a park trail. Pets on leash are welcome along the route, and strollers are encouraged, with a small prize going to the first stroller across the finish. A virtual option exists for anyone who cannot make it in person. Timing is handled professionally, with awards for top finishers and age groups.
