We'll embark on a community bike ride from The Barns in Nappanee to Doc's Pavillion in Wakarusa. Upon arrival, participants can partake in a myriad of engaging activities suitable for all ages. At 10:30 am, the 5K fun run begins! Cyclists and runners of every skill level are warmly invited to join in the festivities. We will end the event with a bike ride back to Nappanee. A light breakfast will be provided in Nappanee and lunch be provided in Wakarusa.
This event takes place to promote a multi-use trail between Nappanee and Wakarusa as part of the county-wide Pathways & Trails Project with the Community Foundation of Elkhart County. The goal of this trail is to create a safe and accessible route for cyclists and pedestrians to travel between these two communities. Our goal for this event is to bring awareness of this multi-use trail, receive the community’s input, and fellowship together.
