The 3rd Annual I Raced The Law 5k and Color Run* is raising money for the Oswego Public Safety Cadets Post #1833. Proceeds from this race will go towards paying for equipment, training, and towards lowering the cost for participation in the 2027 Public Safety Cadets Summer Showdown. Race against a Police Officer in your age/gender bracket on our course. Everyone gets a t-shirt and if you beat the officer's time you can check off the I Won box on the t-shirt. Also offered this year for the first time is a 1 Mile Color Run.
Race Packet pickup will be at the Oswego Police Department located at 3355 Woolley Rd from 800am to 500pm 4/16/26 and 4/17/26. Day of packet pickup will begin at 800am the morning of the race at the race site. Day of registration begins at 800am.
Race start time is 900am. Award ceremony will begin at 1100 am or 15 minutes after the last runner completes the race.
THIS RACE IS USATF CERTIFIED AND IS CHIP TIMED!
Any Sign Ups after 3/31/26 are not guaranteed a shirt. Extra shirts will be given out on a first come first serve basis on the day of the race.
