From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday morning, June 20, 2026 to celebrate the summer solstice with Dave's Solstice Run 5K at Blue Lake.
This event is named after Dave Green, a long-time ORRC member and volunteer. Dave was an active board member, joining in 1981, and becoming president in 1992. Race director for multiple events, including the original Blue Lake Runs, Dave was also the “Treasurer Extraordinaire” and was instrumental in helping the club through some tough times financially in the past. This event epitomizes Dave Green, and his love for low-key, family friendly events.
