The start of the 33rd annual Oracle Run. This year’s race adds a 5K to the mix.
The 34th Annual Oracle Run will be held on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 a.m. In addition to the usual tough grind 10K through the hills of Oracle, there has been a 5K Race added to the itinerary. Race day registration begins at 6:30 a.m. at the Acadia Ranch Museum.
Entry fee is $35 if received before Oct. 8 and $45 thereafter. Entry fee includes a T-shirt designed by a local Oracle artist, refreshments following the race and a raffle entry for a chance to win prizes donated by local businesses. This year’s T-shirt was designed by Karen Medley who is also creating some of the awards for the race.
Awards will be given for each age division for the 10K. Awards for the overall 5K men’s, women’s, senior’s and master’s champions will be provided. To download an entry form or pay online, visit www.oraclehistoricalsociety.org.
