Join the City of Indian Harbour Beach for the Shark in the Park 5K!

Shark in the Park History The name of this event is a true story!  In June of 2014, a three-and-a-half foot bull shark was discovered in the lake at Gleason Park in the heart of Indian Harbour Beach! This was quite a spectacle and drew coverage from local and national news agencies.  Crowds gathered at our park over the excitement of catching the shark (lovingly name Sushi) and relocating it back to the Indian River.  The Shark in the Park 5K takes place on the anniversary of the capture and release of Sushi. Please mark your calendar for June 20th!!  The event will start in Gleason Park and participants will run or walk through our beautiful tree lined (think shade) park, neighborhoods, and finish in the park with an exciting after-party! Finisher medals available for the first 500 participants to register!
