Eureka Natural Foods underwrites the Waterfront Walk and Run to fund trails

The 10th annual Waterfront Walk and Run will take place on September 28.  Every entry will fund trails along the Bay, through Humboldt Trails Council, and Six Rivers Running Club’s Youth Running Shoe Fund. Funding trails is new this year and organizers believe its time to engage the community and “put their feet to work” in support of trails. Each entry will also be entered in a drawing for fun prizes like an inflatable kayak, gift certificates or other items.

Eureka Natural Foods is the Waterfront Walk & Run’s underwriter with the event beginning and ending in their 15th Street parking lot. To celebrate the Run’s 10th Anniversary organizers are planning a post-race Fitness Festival from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m. at the finish line area. This “After Party” will feature fun, body-rocking activities, such as music, booths, fun activities, prize drawings, food and demonstrations.

The two-mile event starts at 10 a.m., heading towards the Waterfront Drive then north to turn-around by the Wharfinger Building. The five-mile event starts at 10:30 a.m. and follows the 2-mile course continuing north to turn-around at the Samoa Bridgeboat ramp.
