Event Description
HealthQuest Presents its 3rd annual Shore Fun Beach run, an exciting and rare opportunity to run the beautiful sandy shores of Oscoda, MI. Featuring both a 5k run and walk as well as a 1 mile kids run, this is an incredible event for the entire family. If you love art shows, please feel welcome to check out our sister event "Art on the Beach" happening just one block away! And of course after the run, continue to have fun at the Oscoda Beach park soaking up the sun and playing in the waters of Lake Huron. As this is a beach run please understand that this may involve running in the water at times and uneven sand. It is a beach and the terrain can change! Wear shoes you don't mind getting wet and dirty!
All profits go to HealthQuest, who will put the proceeds to work in the community. HealthQuest is a local organization of volunteers dedicated to inspring and educating the community to thrive and live healthy, happy, balanced and energetic lives! www.healthquest4you.org
