This event will have two different “races” on Saturday, October 14th… a 5K & a Color Run.
The first race is a 5K that will be timed and USATF certified. The course starts in Patton Park and traverses the beautiful Oklawaha Greenway, a well maintained, paved trail that is 90% shaded with less than 40′ of elevation change. This is a great course for a leisurely fall run, or setting a personal record. There will be 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place awards for men and women race winners in each of the seven age brackets: 1-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+.
The second race is our 1-mile Color Run. This race is a little over a mile in length, and is also paved and shaded. The Color Run is not timed and will be fun for all, with great music and lots of color.
