Promotion and support of health and fitness in the greater lansing area.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community programs: the organization facilitates community programs that empower people to move more, move better, and adopt healthier lifestyles. Through these programs, the organization provides coaches, curriculum, running activities, and shoes for participating children, while also offering educational resources such as good form running. Its events include approximately a half-dozen races each year, creating additional opportunities for community members to exercise and improve their fitness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 86% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
