What is this race all about?
On Saturday, October 3rd, South Haven Public Schools is hosting its 2nd annual Light up the Night 5K walk/run! This family oriented event will include pre-race family activities and a 5K glow walk/run followed by a Frank and Joyce Walker's Outcast Blues concert. Pre-race activities will include face painting, games, a bounce house and much more.
The unique course includes great views of the Lake Michigan sunset along Monroe Blvd, as well as a short jaunt on our newly updated Van Buren trail. In addition, be ready to rock and roll as you run/walk with awesome music provided by some of South Haven’s most talented musicians. Participants will receive admission to the Light up the Night pre–race family activities, a one of a kind Light up the Night t-shirt, glow in the dark gear, and entry into the post-race concert featuring Frank and Joyce Walker's Outcast Blues.
Our teacher led organization’s mission is to raise funds for our students to participate in field trips, add much needed books to our libraries, improve access to technology and provide other enrichment opportunities. Your participation in this event makes all of this possible.
