5K Fitness Run/Walk (Beach, Dunes, Trail & Road) - Recreational - 9:00am (Central Daylight Savings Time)
The first mile starts in Washington Park and heads to the beautiful shoreline where you will run or walk along the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Runners will than head through the award winning Beachwalk Resort Community and circle Lake Kai before hitting Lakeshore Drive and joining the walkers. At this time you will have an opportunity to stretch your legs before taking the climb up to the historic WPA Tower. Don’t relish your accomplishment too long as you will need to roll back down to pass several landmarks of Michigan City before reaching the final stretch.
