About the Boys & Girls Club of Milford Ice Cream Run (5K)

The course runs through the Walnut Beach area and along the Silver Sands boardwalk, so you get salt air and open water views for most of the route. It is a road race on flat coastal terrain, and the surroundings do a lot of the work. After you finish, there is ice cream from the creamery at the beach.

The Walnut Beach parking lot closes before the race starts and stays closed through the awards, so plan to use street parking or the Boys & Girls Club lot nearby, which is a short walk to the start. Bib pickup runs the evening before the race at Walnut Beach Creamery, with no race-morning pickup mentioned.
