Gaston Lions Club 5k

The Gaston Lions Club 5k Run/Walk is an annual event held in Gaston, Indiana, featuring both a 5k run and walk. The mostly flat course starts at the corner of South Washington and Vine Streets, passes through the town and along the Cardinal Greenway, and finishes at the Gaston Lions Club Park. The route includes mile markers every half mile and is supported by water stations and volunteers to guide participants.

Awards are given to top finishers across eleven age groups for both genders, with door prizes and T-shirts for preregistered participants. A free kids fun run of about a quarter mile is also held after the main race, making it a family-friendly event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
