LANSING, Mich. — If you celebrate Easter, this week's Things to Do is for you. From a 5k race that's for a good cause to Easter egg hunts, there are plenty of egg-cellent events you should check out.
Hippity Hop 5k
If 5ks are for you, you'll want to hop to Potter Park Zoo this Saturday.
The Hippity Hop 5k is back and ready for you to lace up your running or walking shoes.
The race will start and finish near the entrance of the zoo and will take you along the Lansing River Trail. The entire course is paved, and they have a backup route to avoid spots that are flooded.
On race day the start time is open from 11 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. And if you're competitive, you'll want to be at the start line by 10:55 a.m.
Participants will get a t-shirt, a finisher's medal and free access to the zoo that day.
The family-friendly event will also have an Easter egg hunt and activities for the kids.
Registration ends just before midnight on Friday, and there will not be same-day registration on race day.
