Shark in the Park 5K

The name of this event is a true story!  In June of 2014, a three-and-a-half foot bull shark was discovered in the lake at Gleason Park in the heart of Indian Harbour Beach! This was quite a spectacle and drew coverage from local and national news agencies.  Crowds gathered at our park over the excitement of catching the shark (lovingly name Sushi) and relocating it back to the Indian River.  The Shark in the Park 5K takes place on the anniversary of the capture and release of Sushi.  To commemorate the 10th anniversary of this exciting day in our city, we are bringing back the ever popular 5K.  

Please mark your calendar for June 22nd!!  The event will start in Gleason Park and participants will run or walk through our beautiful tree lined (think shade) park, neighborhoods, and finish in the park with an exciting after-party! Finisher medals available for the first 400 participants to register!
