The Second Annual Strawberry Shortcake 5K will kick off the annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival.  Join us on Sunday, June 8th, 2025 at 9am in Switchyard Park. This sweet race is sponsored by the Auxiliary to the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington and supports our local Clubs! The course will take you on a tour of Switchyard Park. Starting at the Pavilion, and heading south toward Country Club Road, you will pass the playground and dog parks. Turning around at Country Club Road, you will traverse the park until you get to Hopscotch Coffee. Don't stop there! Turn once more and finish back at the Pavilion to celebrate your completion. Get outside, have fun, and help us support the kids of Bloomington!  

There's more! This year, we are so proud to be joining The Magnificent 7 Race Series! The Mag 7 Race Series consists of 21 races located within a 7-county area in south-central Indiana. Individuals who complete at least 7 of these races during a given year are automatically eligible for Series awards. Check them out at mag7raceseries.com for more information. 

Be sure to return to Switchyard Park on June 12th for the annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival and treat yourself to a delicious serving of strawberry shortcake. The pound cake is made by our auxiliary members and served with Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Bruster's Vanilla Ice Cream.
