The Run to the Beach 5K and One-Mile Easter Eggs Scramble on March 30, 2024 features beautiful courses that loop around Portage Lakes State Park. And great swag! FINISHER MEDALS FOR ALL 5K runners and walkers. The Run to the Beach 5K and 1-mile Easter Egg Scramble is set to take runners for a mostly flat and fast run along the lakeshore of Portage Lakes State Park, where more than 2,000 acres of lakes, camping sites and hiking trails make it a popular recreation spot for boating and fishing here in northeastern Ohio. Both races start in the parking lot near the beach area with a mix or road and trails and end on the sand on the beach. Entrants will also receive a tech tshirt in the 5k, food and a goodie bag.
