It's Time to Dash for the Dunes!
On Saturday, May 31st, residents and visitors who enjoy getting active outside can support the Save the Dunes mission of protecting the Indiana Dunes by joining us for our annual Dunes Dash! Runners will take to the trails of the Indiana Dunes National Park at West Beach for our 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run. All funds raised will be used to support Save the Dunes mission to enhance and protect the incredible biodiversity of our natural spaces through our work in Advocacy, Conservation and Community Engagement.
Race registration is open now! Those interested in participating in the 2025 Dunes Dash are encouraged to register at runsignup.com/Race/IN/Gary/DunesDash5k. Race tees will be available to purchase with registrations received before April 28th.
Please note that an Indiana Dunes National Park pass will be required to enter the parking lot. If you need a park pass you may purchase one at the gate,
or purchase in advance on the registration page or in-person at our office. We look forward to seeing you there!
Additionally, join Save the Dunes at our Open House as we celebrate the 73rd anniversary of our organization! Come pay a us visit at our headquarters to see our recently completed renovations of the historic Barker House. We will have guided tours of the house and property available throughout the day along with light refreshments, and a brief presentation on the historic legacy of Save the Dunes.
The 73rd Anniversary Open House takes place on June 20th, from 11am-1pm CDT at 444 Barker Road in Michigan City. More details can be found at www.savedune.org/events.
Save the Dunes was formed under the call to action to ‘save the dunes’ through the establishment of the Indiana Dunes National Park. In 1966, the National Lakeshore (later named a National Park) was successfully established, and since then it has been Save the Dunes’ mission to ensure the Indiana Dunes, Lake Michigan and surrounding natural area’s perpetual protection and health.
