Balance your Easter treats by kicking off the weekend with some exercise! On the morning of Saturday, April 13, the Granbury Parks and Recreation Department will host the 2nd Annual Run for Your PEEPS 5K Walk/Run. The mission of this event is to encourage individuals, old and young, to get active and to support their ‘PEEPS,’ or fellow community members!
Proceeds from Run for Your PEEPS will be used to buy more life jackets and maintain the new life jacket loaner station at City Beach Park. The life jacket loaner station, which is now available for use at City Beach Park, is a permanent unmanned station stocked with free life jackets that anyone visiting the beach can borrow while they are there.
Packet pickup and sign in on the day of the race begins at 7:00 a.m., and the Walk/Run will begin at 8:00 a.m. The race starts and ends at the Dana Vollmer Municipal Swim Center. For a map of the race course, visit www.granbury.org/DocumentCenter/View/6735.
