Participants may get their feet wet if it is a windy day with high waves on Lake Michigan. The 10K Run route will be on local streets and pavement until the runners reach the beach at Duna Vista. The race route then extends for 2. 5 miles on the beach along Lake Michigan. Participants may be their feet wet if it is a windy day with high waves. The COVE Beach Walk/Run is a unique opportunity for participants to run along the Lake Michigan Shoreline. • For additional information and options for making donations to COVE please: www. callcove. com or www. facebook. com/callcove COVE Address: 906 E Ludington Ave, Ludington, MI 49431
