Kill two birds with one stone: enjoy the outdoors and get healthier at the same time! Here are some April events in Ocean City that'll help you accomplish that!
Spring is officially here, and everyone is praying for more sunshine and warmer days! And with those warmer days, comes the chance to enjoy the outdoors and get in some exercise while you're at it.
Below, you'll find upcoming running/walking events happening in April that'll be sure to inspire you to get outside and get fit!
Komen MD Ocean City Race for the Cure
When: April 14 @ 7:30 a.m.
Where: 809 S. Atlantic Ave. (Ocean City Boardwalk Inlet)
Walkers or runners travel a one-mile route along the Ocean City Boardwalk. The event will also feature food, activities for children, entertainment, a survivor's tent, and a post-race celebration at Seacrets at 5 p.m.!
The race is a good way to not only start getting in better shape, but it also benefits a good cause as the funds raised during the event will be used to help local breast health programs and research on a national level.
