Olmsted Spirit 5K Race / 2-Mile Walk - May 4, 2014

The "Olmsted Spirit 5K Race/Walk" will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2014. Race day registration and check-in will be at the Olmsted Falls High School in Olmsted Falls from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for the 5K race and 2-mile walk. Participants can save money by pre-registering online by April 1st at http://www.spectralight.com/5k.

Free refreshments and breakfast buffet will be available. All pre-registered participants will receive a T-shirt and raffle ticket for a chance to win free prizes from area businesses.

All monies raised from business sponsors and entry fees (after expenses) go toward college scholarships for Olmsted Falls High School seniors who have shown their school or community spirit by the activities they were involved in during their lifetime.

New this year - all money raised from the raffle will benefit a family in-need from Olmsted Falls.

Last year, over 700 runners/walkers participated in the race with an additional 200-300 family and friends in attendance. $21,000.00 in college scholarships was distributed to 42 Olmsted Falls High School graduates as a result of race participation fees and business sponsorships! Since the race began in 1998, over $200,000.00 has been awarded to OFHS graduates.
