Register today for the 2025 Run for the House! Ronald McDonald House Charities Mid-Michigan is please to welcome back our Champion Sponsor, MSU Federal Credit Union!

The 2025 Run for the House will start and finish at the MSU Federal Credit Union Headquarters in East Lansing. There is something for everyone at this community event, including a 5K run/walk, a 10K run, a 10K ruck and a kids one-mile fun run & sprint. A virtual option is also offered.

• In-Person Race: Participants who choose this option will participate on the marked courses beginning on MSUFCU’s Headquarters on Sunday, April 13, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. The 5K course will guide you out onto West Road and through the paved paths on MSUFCU’s campus. The 10K course will be a double loop of the 5K course with some differences that will be noted with signs and by volunteers. Both courses will be chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation.                                                                                                     
• Kids 1 Mile Fun Run & Sprint Children ages 12 & under registering for our kids races can enjoy both the Sprint (very short distance that even our youngest participants can complete) and our mile-long Fun Run.The Sprint starts at 9:15 a.m., and the Fun Run will begin immediately afterward. Kids race registration allows children to participate in both races. Pacers will run with kids to keep them on the right path.
• Ruck for the House 10K: The Ruck for the House will follow the 10K course beginning and ending at MSU Federal Credit Union Headquarters campus. Rucking is walking with weight on your back based on military training workouts. Participants will provide their own weighted vests or backpacks. Course limit is 2 hours. The Ruck will be chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation.
• Virtual Race – Pick Your Pace: Participants who choose the virtual race option can run or walk the race between April 11, 2025 through April 13, 2025. Virtual participants can participate anywhere their feet will take them — at home, on a treadmill, in a neighborhood or at a local park! Virtual participants may order a race packet, but they must be picked up in person. Awards will not be available for virtual participants.

5K and 10K (including the ruck) begin at 10:00 am. You do not have to feel rushed to get to the starting line. Timing does not start until you cross the timing mats!

Kids Sprint begins at 9:15 am, and 1 Mile Fun Run will follow immediately. Families are encouraged to visit the Lansing Area Littles Kids’ Zone before and after the races for fun activities and demonstrations.

At the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan, our purpose is keeping families close to the care their sick children need, and providing comfort, support and resources for families just steps from the hospital. We can’t wait to bring you the 2025 Run for the House while continuing our commitment to keep families safe while keeping them close.

Help make a difference for families of seriously ill children. Your participation in the Run for the House 5K run/walk, 10K run, 10K ruck and kids run will help the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan provide a home-away-from-home for families who have a child being hospitalized or receiving treatment at Lansing-area hospitals and clinics. We strive to keep families together, providing them with a warm and caring environment where they can focus on the health of their child.
