About the Event

In 2019, the Izzo family and Playmakers partnered to host an annual premium run/walk experience on the campus of Michigan State University.

With an emphasis on fitness, fun, family, charity, and Spartan Spirit, the event seeks to:

Honor the impact & legacy of Coach Tom Izzo and his values of hard work, Spartan Spirit, family, community, and chartable giving.

Encourage inclusivity by coordinating with MSU Adaptive Sports to accomodate participants of all abilities.

Provide the Spartan community with a unique family- friendly event that encourages healthy living.

Provide Spartan alumni and fans an annual opportunity to return to campus, attend the spring football game, additional non-revenue athletic events, and participate in the run/walk/roll.

Establish a sustainable annual event that gives back to the Greater Lansing and Michigan State communities.
