About this race
Join us for the Looney Days 5K—a scenic lakes area run starting and finishing at the beautiful Vergas City Beach!
This fun and unique course takes you along a paved trail before leading you across the iconic floating bridge. From there, you'll head onto Tin Can Alley, a grassy path with natural terrain—watch your footing and enjoy the adventure!
You’ll then circle back over the floating boardwalk and continue along the picturesque shoreline of Long Lake. The final stretch is paved, with friendly volunteers stationed along the route to guide you and cheer you on as you make your way to a strong beachside finish.
Whether you're racing for a PR or just soaking in the views, this is a 5K you won't want to miss! 🏃♀️🌊
