The Oatka 5k run/walk is a race for all types of runners, walkers, and families. The Race coincides with the Tri the Oatka Team triathlon that takes place in the beautiful village of Le Roy. The course zig zags through village neighborhood streets, crosses over Main Street twice and then returns runner back to the creek bank along side the beautiful Oatka Creek.
