Run for the House

Register today for the 2024 Run for the House! The Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan is excited to announce the partnership of our Title Sponsor, Michigan State University Federal Credit Union!

We are EXCITED to announce both a 5K and 10K race in 2024! We will continue to offer a virtual option, as well. 

In-Person Race: Participants who choose this option will participate on the marked courses beginning on MSUFCU's Headquarters on Sunday, March 17, 2024 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 announced soon. Both courses will be chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation. We are also planning for a one-mile Kids' Fun Run at 9:15 am and route details will be available soon.

Virtual participants may order a race packet, but they must be picked up in person. Awards will not be available for virtual participants.

Can I bring my dog?
5K:   MSUFCU allows dogs on their campus as long as you abide by the City of East Lansing leashing ordinance and your dog can handle the social interaction of the event. If you are walking or running the 5K with your dog, we do ask that you start at the back of the starting group to avoid accidental tripping.

10K: Dogs are NOT allowed.

*Shirt opt-out option available!

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 2024 Run for the House while continuing our commitment to keep families safe while keeping them close. We will continue to follow local government health guidelines surrounding events. 

Employees of the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan are Sparrow employees. As a result, we follow the Sparrow Health System staff guidelines.

Help make a difference for families of seriously ill children. Your participation in the Run for the House 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run and Kids Run will help the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan provide a home-away-from-home for those families who have a child being hospitalized or receiving treatment at Lansing-area hospitals and clinics. The House offers a comfortable, inexpensive and private place for families to sleep, eat and relax. Here families find a caring atmosphere where they can receive strength and encouragement from others who are also going through difficult times.
