Bauer Gait 5k Walk/Run

Bauer Gait is a 5K run/walk event that takes you on a scenic trail along the Mississippi River. The event begins at Lake Rebecca Park, takes you along several loops, bringing you past the Hastings Lock & Dam where you will have unbelievable views of both Lake Rebecca and the mighty Mississippi River. You will feel like you are walking between two natural waterways! You will turnaround at the halfway point only to capture the fall colors and visit with family and friends. This is a 5K flat course for both runners and walkers so anyone can enjoy, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced walker/runner. This is a RAIN or SHINE event so dress appropriate to the weather conditions. Kids ages 15 and under are FREE. We DO have a family rate! The finish line will greet you with a bag of goodies, which will include snacks, a beverage, coupons, and other goodies. This event is also in partnership with United Way of Hastings. United Way of Hastings has been helping those in need for 50 years. Every dollar raised in the community stays right here to impact education, health, and financial stability.
