From the Organizer
The Westerville Sports Complex has great parking and a race course that is flat, paved, scenic & fun. In addition, the space for our CAT CAPER 5K RAFFLE is ideal. Participants will once again have a chance to connect with nature while running or walking the 5K.
As with the past, bring all your friends or family and save! If you register 5 or more for the 5K and everyone in the group gets $5 off their entry! Each member of the group needs to register in the same 'cart' and the discount will automatically appear when you check-out.
