CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Memorial Day is when we reflect upon the ultimate sacrifices of the many men and women who served in the United States military and pay our respects. As we enjoy our freedoms on this national holiday, take a moment to give thanks.

To commemorate the holiday, join us for the “Safe Fun-Fit at the Bayfront” free classes and walk/run races this weekend. While you are at The Water’s Edge, we invite you to explore Sherrill Veterans Memorial Park, where the City has dedicated an area to remember our military servicemen and women.

Meet us under the Islanders Pavilion at The Water’s Edge this Saturday, May 28, for our free classes: ‘Back to Basics Fitness,’ Yoga, and Zumba. All participants receive a punch card to record each Saturday attended. A completed punch card is eligible for a prize.

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.
