This August, the Stinson Lake 5 K Run/Walk will celebrate its 11th anniversary as an annual fundraiser for the Stinson Lake Association's Lake Host Program, which actively works to keep aquatic invasive species out of Stinson Lake. This program is essential to protecting the lake and ensuring its cleanliness for generations to come. Once again, we are offering options for both an in-person race as well as a virtual option for those who wish to complete the 5K on their own.
Note: This year's race is capped at 200 participants. Register in advance!
