Playmakers Holiday Classic
The Playmakers Holiday Classic is a winter running and walking event held annually in Lansing, Michigan. Scheduled for December 24, 2026, this event serves as a seasonal tradition that brings participants to the heart of the city. The event is organized by the Playmakers Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on providing inclusive physical activity opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities.
The event features multiple distances to accommodate different participants:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids Reindeer Run
The 5K course consists of a loop through downtown Lansing, starting and finishing at 325 Riverfront Drive. The route is designed for both those moving at a competitive pace and those walking with family. Upon completing the course, participants are provided with cocoa and cookies at the finish line area.
The event is held on the ancestral lands of the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi people. As a community-focused event, it emphasizes inclusivity and movement. The location is situated near landmarks such as the Lansing Shuffle and Sparrow Health. Registration is open to the public without specific qualification requirements, supporting the foundation's mission to encourage the community to move more and move better.
