Necktie 5K

The Necktie 5K Walk & Run is an annual event held in Beverly Shores, Indiana, along the scenic Lake Michigan shoreline. Scheduled for June 14, 2025, this 5K race encourages participants to wear neckties in honor of fathers, with prizes for the most creative ties and for the first father-son and father-daughter teams to finish together. The event offers a family-friendly atmosphere, including a free kids' sprint for children 8 and under, group stretches, and post-race refreshments with live entertainment.

Limited parking near the start requires use of shuttle buses from a nearby church. Awards are given to top finishers in age groups, making it a festive community celebration on Father’s Day weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
