Hippity Hop 5K

The annual Hippity Hop 5K returns Saturday (March 30), kicking off near Potter Park Zoo’s entrance and taking participants around the Lansing River Trail. Attendees can start any time between 11 and 11:15 a.m. There will also be a virtual option for those who can’t make it in person. Participants will receive a finisher’s medal, and the winners of each age division will receive a special award.

In addition to the 5K, children can enjoy an Easter egg hunt at 10:30 a.m., photos with the Easter Bunny and activities provided by the Capital Area District Libraries and Home Depot’s Okemos location. Registered participants will also receive free same-day entry to the zoo.

Registration for the 5K is $30 for adults and $25 for children 12 and under, but those who register with three or more people will receive a $3 discount per person. Registration for the egg hunt only is $20. All proceeds will support the Child Benefit Fund, which assists at-risk families in Ingham County. Register by midnight Friday (March 29) at runsignup.com/Race/MI/Lansing/HippityHop5K.
