Ericson Lake 5K Fun Run
The Ericson Lake 5K Fun Run takes place in Ericson, Nebraska. Organized by the Ericson Lake Corporation, this event features a 5 km distance open to both runners and walkers. The course is situated approximately one mile south of the town of Ericson at Lake Ericson, providing a route that weaves around the water with the Sandhills as a backdrop.
The terrain consists of a level course with a rural mixture of surfaces, including gravel, dirt, and sand trails. The event is open to participants of all ages, with registration categories available for both adults and youth. Participants are required to have a signed waiver before picking up their race packets.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the Ericson Lake Corporation, a non-profit organization focused on wildlife and water conservation. Proceeds contribute to the sustainability and enhancement of the lake environment. Following the run, a prize drawing is held for participants, with separate divisions for those aged 17 and under and those aged 18 and older.
The location offers various outdoor amenities for attendees. Lake Ericson provides facilities for camping, including tent areas and RV pads with electric hook-ups. Additional activities available at the site include swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
