Runners, walkers, and nature enthusiasts! You are invited to come enjoy the beauty of fall on the trails of Woldumar Nature Center. This year, with the help of @JCILansing, our race will be a hybrid event, so those unable to run in-person are encouraged to participate remotely in their own neighborhood, backyard, treadmill, or local trail the week of November 7th-13th OR participate in-person with others at our chip-timed event on Sunday, November 7th at 9:30 a.m.
The Woldumar Nature Association is a Lansing, MI based nonprofit that engages over 6000 students in outdoor education each year. You'll enjoy the beauty of our prairie, pine forest, wetlands, and hardwood forest as you run along the Grand River on 180 acres protected by the Association.
Not only is this the perfect fall run on a beautiful course, but MOST IMPORTANTLY your participation supports quality science education that instills passion for the natural world in young people throughout the Greater Lansing Area. Your support furthers our mission: "To educate people about the natural environment."
