Brief Description

Ringing in Spring is a 5K road race, that was founded in 1995 to support the Valparaiso YMCA's fitness programs. Today, it is the most widely-anticipated springtime race in Northwest Indiana. Ringing in Spring is small enough to have hometown intimacy and charm but large enough to host both first-time runners and the region's fastest runners.
