    • In-Person Race: Participants who choose this option will participate on the marked courses beginning on MSUFCU's Headquarters on Sunday, April 19, 2026 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 a double loop of the 5K course with some differences that will be noted with signs and by volunteers. Both courses will be chip timed by the Michigan Running Foundation.

    • Kids 1 Mile Fun Run & Sprint Children ages 12 & under registering for our kids races can enjoy both the Sprint (very short distance that even our youngest participants can complete) and our mile-long Fun Run.

Pacers will run with kids to keep them on the right path.

The mission is to connect alumni, the MSU and Mid-Michigan communities in a positive celebration of Coach Izzo's legacy. The events include a 5K Run/Walk, 5K Roll, 1/2 K Walk/Roll, Kids' Races and a Virtual 5K; all events will focus on fitness, fun, family, Spartan spirit and charitable giving!

    Proceeds from the 2026 Izzo Run/Walk/Roll will continue to support an endowment for The Izzo Legacy that will ensure charitable giving for years to come. In addition, participants can donate to select local charities through the registration process or on the donation page.

    "Tom and I have certainly been blessed to be a part of this community and we feel a genuine obligation to give back to the MSU and Mid-Michigan communities that have become such a large part of our lives. One of the reasons we’ve never left Michigan State is the connection to our community."
