To accomodate campus and city upgrades, the route has been redefined. We are excited to have this new route, which takes participants through a beautiful part of OU's campus and allows the correct distance without closing of all of main campus from OU students and guests.

Unfortunately, the 10K route was not able to be USATF certified as planned due to unforeseen logistical issues and road construction. However, please note that the course has been carefully re-planned to assure both course integrity and distance.

Registration check-in is at the Oakland Center at Oakland University at 8:00 am. The 5-K race will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m. and the 10-K will follow at 9:45 a.m.

Registration on the day of the event is $30 for adults and $20 for students when registering onsite. The cost for children 7 and under is $0.

Medals will be awarded in the 10-K for the top three runners in each age group (17 and under, 18-25, 26-35, 36-45 and 45+).
