Organiser's Description
The Oregon Tech Twilight 5K Fun Run is hosted by Oregon Tech Wellbeing in collaboration with the Student Veterans Program, and as part of community Memorial Day events, honors all veterans who have given their lives in the name of freedom. The route has been adjusted this year! So, the Fun Run will begin at Eulalona (formerly known as Kit Carson) Park, with the route proceeding up the trail that runs parallel to Crater Lake Parkway, to El Dorado, up Daggett, and then right on Bryant Williams Way. Participants will complete one loop around campus, with the finish line inside Moehl Stadium. Food trucks will be located between the stadium and the Athletics Building, with a closing awards ceremony once all finish times are recorded. Awards will be given for overall finishers and by age group.
Registration cost of $20 will allow participants to run/walk the 5K, get a t-shirt, and receive one free meal ticket to the food trucks. Volunteers will each be given a t-shirt and free meal ticket, as well. Students and children (up to 18) can participate at no cost, but they DO need to register, and a waiver must be completed for each child (up to age 18).
This is a family-friendly environment and walkers and runners alike are welcome; the route is paved throughout. Although we love furry friends, dogs or other pets are not allowed (aside from registered service animals). We will have volunteers placed throughout the route ringing cowbells for encouragement, and Klamath Falls police will also assist in traffic control. Hootie (Oregon Tech's mascot) will be joining us, and Dr. Nagi (our President) has the honor of using the start pistol at the Staring line. A professional timing service will be tracking race times, with an inflatable finish line inside the stadium!
Goals for the event include: the engagement of Klamath Falls community members in a healthy activity; strengthening of collaborative partnerships between Oregon Tech and Klamath Falls resources; and increased social connection in a shared family-friendly community experience.
