The Columbia City Parks Department is preparing for upcoming Dashing Through The Snow 5K through park, a race that aims to raise funds for the Blue River Trail expansion and bridge that will eventually link the park to residents living on the north side of Columbia City.
The race is slated for December 9, 2011, with registration beginning at 4 p.m. The race begins at 5:45 p.m., as runners and walkers depart on what will hopefully be a snowy course through the park.
