About the Evansville 4th of July Run/Walk
The course loops around Lake Leota Park, mixing lakeside paths with a stretch through the older streets of town. It is mostly flat, and the combination of the park setting and the holiday timing means there are usually families and kids around the finish area.
Packet pickup is the evening before at Creekside Place on Maple Street, with race-morning pickup available at the park as well. Pets are not allowed on the course, service animals excepted.
