Organiser's Description
Formerly the ORRC Y2K Run, now Ralph's Run in honor of longtime ORRC member Ralph Brown, this event moves back to its original premise of a changing distance every year. Starting out in 1986 as the _8.6 in '86_, it will now be 20.26K in 2026. You get a new PR every year! It also features a 10K run/walk, a 5K run/walk, and a kid's run. All events start at 9am and the course closes at noon. (There is an 8:30 start intended ONLY for 20.26K participants who cant make the three hour cut-off.)

What a great way to start the new racing year. My first time at this event, and it was wonderful. The race shirt swag was one of the nicest shirts I've ever received. I look forward to this being my first race of the year for many years to come. Well done!
