From the Organizer
This will be our 9th edition of the 5k Run For Ollie! We will once again be kicking off Artist Alley morning! The race is going to start at 8:15 so all the vendors will be clear of the road. Start/Finish line is at the intersection of Main and Lincoln on the Google Earth logo if you need to use maps to find it. Parking off main will be available but access across the road may be blocked! We will have prizes for top female and male finishers as well as tshirts for all entrants. The race is not professionally timed so feel free to wait until after the race to pick up your shirt! We will be set up by 7am if you wanna pick up your shirt before. Will have water and snacks post race!
Must Register by September 6th to be guaranteed a shirt!
