Rainbow Dash- Inflatable 0.0517K
About this race
The Rainbow Dash – A 0.0517K of Pure, Bouncy Joy!
Get ready, Lansing! The Rainbow Dash is here to bring laughter, joy, and just the right amount of ridiculousness to your life! This .0517K (yes, POINT Zero 517K) is your chance to don an inflatable costume (or any other delightfully wacky outfit) and waddle, bounce, and boogie in Old Town—because running is overrated, but looking hilarious is forever.
When: May 16 @ 11AM
Where: Brenke Fish Ladder in Old Town
Cost: $20 to register – all proceeds benefit the Lansing SALUS Center- Registration includes a sticker and memories to last a lifetime (inflatable costume not included).
Whether you’re a giant inflatable hot dog, a bouncy dinosaur, or a walking, wobbling rainbow, this event is all about bringing joy, spreading cheer, and making Old Town Lansing the happiest place on Earth (for at least .0517 kilometers). No speed required—just enthusiasm, a little wind resistance, and a love for community fun. Stay and enjoy all that Old Town has to offer and continue to spread joy and smiles.
So, gather your most glorious gear, grab some friends, and join us for a race that’s less about the finish line and more about the funniest, wiggliest journey of the year!
