Two Rivers Meet Walkathon, 5K run/walk, 10K run and 15K run
  • 8:00am-11:00am (EDT)
  • Civic Plaza, Elkhart, Indiana
  • Kick off your Memorial Day weekend with a run in downtown Elkhart.  Course go through a small park and along the riverwalk, ending in the main park downtown.

    The  walkathon loop is at your own pace with continuous river views, close to the start/finish of the race so you will be part of the excitement!  You can walk as long as you want to, as many loops. This isn't timed, so there is no pressure, just enjoyment. It's perfect for people who are there primarily to support others, people who are not sure how far they can go, recovery or PT exercise, etc.

    5K run and Walk are very popular course with the locals and go through High Dive park.

    The 10K gives people a chance to try out that distance, or get a baseline for the season ahead. The course also goes a distance down Greenleaf that is one of the nicest in Elkhart, with plenty of shade trees.

    The 15K (9.3 miles)  is a great tune up for the Sunburst Marathon or a good challenge for someone trying to push out their distance limit. The course goes through a lovely riverside neighborhood with stately homes and manicured lawns.

    All courses are flat.

    This venue is such a sweet hidden gem!  Join us this year! If you have ever wanted to get into the sport, this is a great, friendly opportunity to do so. OR put a team together with your kids or neighbors, and each do one or two legs! Relays are a total blast!

NEW! Diamond Lake Triathlon
  • 8:00am-11:30am (EDT)
  • 62555 Diamond View Drive Cassopolis, MI
  • This is a new race to benefit Alex Stscherban. Alex participated in a local triathlon last year, and collapsed after crossing the finish line. He was 28 years old and had a heart attack that resulted in an anoxic brain injury. He is still recovering.

    Whether you knew Alex personally or not, I am certain you can imagine the horror of such a random incident. Alex played football in college, sailed big boats, worked out, bulging biceps and ripped abs, a good career....one of those people that seemed to have it all.

    Now Alex is fighting his way back to "normal." It is going to take a long time.

    The Diamond Lake triathlon is set in a very intimate setting, based out of the Paul's home on Sail Bay. The swim is literally out the back yard of the Paul home, with the blessing of the neighbors. 

    The bike and run are scenic -- with views of lovely homes and less traveled roads! If your idea of the perfect morning is swimming, biking and or running- then don't miss out. 

    Relay options are available, so bring your kids, your pals and join in the fun!

    So spend part of your 4th of July at the fabulous Diamond Lake. Let's savor the precious days of summer and send a big wave of love out to Alex Stscherban.

    Registration will be up soon!  Save the date!
