COVE Benefit Beach 5K Run/Walk & 10K Run 2026

The COVE Beach Walk/Run starts and finishes at Charles Mears State Park. The 5K route combines pavement and dirt road, ending with a half-mile stretch directly on the beach. The 10K route navigates local streets before joining the beach at Duna Vista for 2.5 miles along Lake Michigan. Expect the chance of wet feet if the lake is windy!
