Please plan to participate in the 11th Annual Rotary Club of Ocean Springs’ 5-K Run for Art, Culture and Education (RACE) and Post-Race “Smarty Party” and help us spread the word!
Our 5-K Race will be held on Saturday, October 19th at 7pm with the Kid's Fun Run starting at 6:15pm.
Come join us for Ocean Springs' oldest night race! The 1st 300 registered participants for the 5-K will receive a performance Technical t-shirt, a Shed BBQ sandwich, and soda, bottled water or beer! Awards will be presented to overall winners, age group winners, and walkers. There will be a kid's Fun Run (12 and under – $10) starting at 6:15pm. The entry fee is $25.
There will also be an award presented to the adult and child participant with the best costume (male and female).
Please be sure to wear reflective and glow in the dark clothing and shoes during the race as this is a night race.
This is a beautiful TAC Certified course through downtown Ocean Springs! The race starts and finishes on the grounds of the Mary C. O'Keefe on Government Street in Ocean Springs. There will be live DJ music, food, drinks and more! Don't come just to run...come to party too! Proceeds from this event help us to provide over $11,000 in scholarships to Ocean Springs and St. Martin High School Seniors as well as support our other charitable causes including Warriors for Willow and the United MSD Foundation. Willow Cannan is the daughter of Amber Olsen who was the Rotary Club of Ocean Springs’ President for 2015-2016. Willow was diagnosed with Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency an EXTREMELY rare disease. Proceeds will help create the first ever clinical trial to save children with MSD. To learn more visit curemsd.org.
