Due to the recommendations from the CDC and the State of Indiana, we are changing Running Wild 5K Run/3K Walk into a virtual race! With a virtual race you can run the 5K distance anywhere, in your neighborhood, on a treadmill, at a nearby park or on the 5K course here at St. Patrick’s County Park! If you choose to run the course at the park you will run on wooded and open field trails, park roads, grass and gravel. The 3K Wacky Scavenger Hunt Walk will be self-led at St. Patrick’s County Park and is on similar, relatively flat surfaces. Proceeds benefit park facilities, programs and bus transportation to the parks for school programs.
August 15-23, 2020
