LAKESIDE LOOPS 5K AND 10K

Presented by Eastside Racing Company and Move-It Fitness

Get ready for a summer evening on the trails at beautiful Stony Creek Metropark! Lakeside Loops 5K/10K brings together trail runners, walkers, hikers, and the growing rucking community for a midweek adventure surrounded by woods, water, and great company.

Eastwood Beach will serve as the main gathering area, start/finish vicinity, and post-race hangout location for the event. Come early, stay after, and enjoy a summer evening by the lake with the running and outdoor community.

Whether you are chasing a fast trail effort, enjoying an evening hike, or training with weight on your back, this event is designed to welcome all abilities and encourage people to get outside and move.

10K RUCK

Start Time: 6:20pm

We are excited to introduce rucking for the first time as part of an Eastside Racing Company event! The goal is to expand the enjoyment of our events and local parks to those who enjoy hiking with weight or may be training for hiking expeditions, backpacking adventures, endurance events, or military-style fitness.

This division is intended to be community-focused rather than competitive.  Our emphasis is on building a welcoming rucking community while sharing the trails respectfully with runners and walkers. Please be aware there will be faster runners on course and keep to the right in single file on narrower sections of trail.
