The 5K event brought together runners, walkers, and rollers of all ages to support local charities through the Izzo Legacy Foundation.
"We all as humans should support local causes and get out there and just get some exercise, you know? That’s what it’s all about," Angie Bowden said.
Bowden participated in the event for the fourth time.
"Everybody should get out and try it once, you know? It’s a sea of people, that’s for sure. If you like people, this is the place to be," Bowden said.
For some students, the event doubled as a way to de-stress before finals.
"It was a lot of fun. It’s a beautiful day out so it was a really good experience to soak up the sunshine and get some fresh air before finals week," Braydon Hoeksema said.
Hoeksema and Eleanor Martin, both MSU sophomores, participated for the first time. I asked them if they plan to return.
"I think definitely yeah, it was a lot of fun," Hoeksema said.
"Yeah," Martin said.
