The 4th annual Autumn on Parade 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run is set to start on Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 8:00am. The one mile runners will take to the starting line first followed by the 5K participants at 8:30am.
The 1 Mile Fun Run course will run the perimeter of the high school starting at Jefferson and Hawk Drive to 10th Street to Adams and back to Hawk Drive to finish. Every finisher in the 1 mile race will receive a participant ribbon with finishing times and places to be posted on the internet after the race.
As for the 5K all of the usual suspects will appear for the 4th annual Autumn on Parade 5k – music, premium t-shirts, professional timing, good food, sports drinks, great raffle prizes, awards to overall male/female finisher and top three male/female finishers in each age bracket.
An official IHSA/IESA starter will again get the 5K runners off to a fast start at 8:30am. Participants will navigate towards the downtown festival to start with and then run the middle section through the park with a finish on the Oregon high school track.
We are excited to announce a partnership with the Oregon VFW Post #8739 in an effort to give back to an organization that has given so much not only our community but to our country.
