The Capital City River Run is an amazong event that involves the entire capital area community. Playmakers, a local and nationally know running store, sponsors the race. They provide pacers up to 15 minutes per mile, which is amazing for the back of the pack runners! The course is flat and well marked. The race director has done a great job of working with local officials to close off roads so that all the runners stay safe. It is a fairly flat course that runs through Lansing and Michigan State University. It's a great race for any beginner or seasoned runner.
