Get ready for a day of fun and community spirit at the Waves of Freedom 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, July 18th, 2026, in the charming town of Culver, Marshall. This exciting event invites participants to run or walk along the picturesque shores of Lake Maxinkuckee, all while surrounded by the strong patriotic spirit of the town. Each runner and walker will receive a custom event t-shirt (make sure to register early to secure yours!), and enjoy live music, a complimentary root beer from Culver’s Original Root Stand, and the option to take a refreshing dip in the lake after crossing the finish line.

But the excitement doesn’t stop with the race! Spend the rest of your day exploring the vibrant Lake Festival, which includes delightful vendors, kids' amusement rides, a parade, a car show, and a variety of dining options. Dive into outdoor activities like kayaking and swimming at the town beach, and when the sun sets, gather with family and friends to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display over the lake. Mark your calendars for this unforgettable day in Culver—where lasting memories and community connection await you!
