Kick-yer Assparagus 5km Fun Run Walk
About this race
The course begins at the pavilion located at the Empire public beach on the shore of Lake Michigan. The course will proceed straight onto Lake Street and begin to climb the grueling Wilco Road to the trailhead of the Empire Bluff Trail. Make a U-turn and it’s all downhill from there. Follow the arrows and course volunteers and continue through the quaint neighborhoods of Empire as you make your way back to the finish at the pavilion where you started for refreshments and prizes!
