The Anita Run/Walk Club would like to invite you to the first annual Whaletown Wilderness Race to be held at Lake Anita State Park. Our race will be a 5 mile course that will take participants on both park trails and also on a off-road journey to get to the finish line.
We have also included a 1.5 mile course for runners & walkers- both begin at the beach.
Money raised will be split between paving and extending the trail system at the lake and giving to the Health & Wellness Center to purchase new equipment and help fund the youth activities offered there.
Please come and check out our neck of the woods!
