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.

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.)
