Kosciusko Lakes and Streams and the Kosciusko Community YMCA have teamed up to provide the first annual Water Waddle as part of the Northern Indiana Lakes Festival this summer.
The Water Waddle is a one-mile fun run for kids ages toddler to 14 year olds. Toddlers are welcome to walk with an adult.
The event will take place at Center Lake Park, which has a paved sidewalk around the perimeter of the park measuring a quarter of a mile. Youth will complete four laps around the course, all within the sight of the adult who brought them to minimize any safety concerns.
The Water Waddle will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday with registration and check-ins starting an hour before race time. There is no entry fee for the race. Participants will also receive participation medals, and trophies will be awarded to the top three runners in boy and girl divisions.
More information and the registration form are available at www.lakesfestival.org
Registration forms also can be picked up at the Kosciusko Community YMCA in Warsaw. Completed registration forms need to be mailed or dropped off to the YMCA.
