Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Patoka Lake’s June events are still on!
Registration is open for the Full Moon 5K at Patoka Lake Beach.
Runners will race on a 3.1-mile path through the woods on roadways, well-maintained gravel, and grass lane, and a paved bike trail lit by moonlight and tiki torches.
All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting Patoka Lake’s non-releasable raptors: a red-tailed hawk, eastern screech owl, and a bald eagle.
The race takes place on Friday, June 5th at 9:15 pm at Patoka Lake Beach.
Early registration is $25, which includes a race t-shirt.
To register, head to fullmoon5k.itsyourrace.com.

The event takes place on Saturday, June 6th, from 9 am to 11:30 am.
Participants are instructed to park at the Osborn Ramp, off of Highway 145.

Prizes will be awarded.
The award ceremony will take place at 11am.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, advanced registration is required this year.
