Organiser's description

April is recognized by Congress and most Governors across the U.S. as National Safe Digging Month (NSDM). Because it's the time of year when temperatures increase in many parts of the country and spring digging projects begin, April is an important time to remember how important it is to contact OKIE811 at least a few days before putting a shovel in the ground.

Do you _DIG_ running? To help raise awareness, OKIE811 is hosting a 5k this year on April 13th, 2024. Come run around scenic Stars and Stripes Park at Lake Hefner, in Oklahoma City on a USATF Certified course.
