The Friends of Lincoln State Park and Indiana Department of Natural Resources will co-host the 14th Mr. Lincoln’s Neighborhood 5K Run/Walk. This run and walk will be held on Saturday, May 4th, 2024, at 9 AM CDT at Lincoln State Park. This year’s theme is “May the Fourth Be With You.”
The 5K will follow the same route as previous events, starting and ending at the Lake Lincoln Beach parking lot. The route consists mostly of paved park roadways and some hiking trails.
Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers for adults and kids under 16 as well as best dressed for the “May the Fourth Be With You” theme. Random door prizes will also be awarded during the event including Indiana State Park annual passes, gift cards, gift certificates, and more.

The early registration fee is $20 per person registering on or before April 30 and $30 from May 1 until race day. All event participants will receive an event t-shirt while supplies last, with priority given to early registrants.
