CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – We invite you to celebrate American workers on Labor Day by enjoying your time away from the work grind. Step outdoors and join us at The Water’s Edge on Monday, September 5, for the “Safe Fun-Fit at the Bayfront” program’s free race event and classes set against our beautiful shoreline. 

The “Safe Fun-Fit Labor Day 5K/10K” event, sponsored by State Representative Todd Hunter and the City of Corpus Christi, will start at 7:30 a.m. The Fitness Lane route begins along the seawall at The Water’s Edge, northbound, towards the American Bank Center, with the turnaround just before the barge dock entrance. Walk, jog, run, or bike along the event’s designated 1.5-mile fitness lane (one way). Our community partner, H-E-B, provides fruit and water for all participants.

If classes are more your speed, join our ‘Back to Basics Fitness,’ Yoga or Zumba class. Class sessions are limited to 30 participants per class. Participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat and water, as appropriate, for their workout. All participants receive a punch card to record each Saturday attended. A completed punch card is eligible for a prize!
