(La Porte, IN) - The Earth Day 5k walk or run in La Porte is returning.

 

The fund raising event for the La Porte City Park Foundation will take place on April 25, the mayor’s office announced today.  The race starting and finishing at the Dennis F. Smith Amphitheatre at Fox Park will again feature a scenic 5k course looping around Clear Lake with an out- and-back section on the Chessie Trail.
