Recess at the Lake to add 5K, fun run and expanded fitness activities

Wilmington, NC (WWAY) — A community wellness event at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater will return later this month with new races and expanded fitness activities.

Recess at the Lake, organized by REV Federal Credit Union in partnership with Recess by Bevin Prince, is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This year’s event will include a 5K and a 1-mile fun run and walk, along with fitness classes such as cycling, Pilates, yoga and strength training.

Organizers say other activities will include a cold plunge, wellness vendors, food and coffee options and music from a DJ.

Registration for the races and general event is open. Registration for cycling classes is scheduled to open Sept. 13 and requires separate registration.

The event will benefit the UpTheGood Foundation, which supports organizations and initiatives focused on revitalization, education and veterans. Organizers say the foundation also plans to make a donation to ACCESS of Wilmington, an organization focused on creating recreational opportunities for people with disabilities.

Registration costs between $30 and $40 per participant, according to organizers.
