Run Your City: East Lansing is a new chapter of Run Your City, a nonprofit dedicated to giving every kid the opportunity to experience youth sports, regardless of their background or ability. Through free running programs, college athletes and other willing volunteers serve as coaches and mentors, helping kids build confidence, find community, and discover the joy of running.

We are raising funds to launch and support the East Lansing chapter and provide local K–8 youth with a free, welcoming introduction to running. Donations will help provide the equipment, snacks, race-day experiences, and resources needed to give every kid a chance to participate.

Our goal is simple: give every kid a place to start. Together, we can help the next generation belong, move, and grow.
