A clear sunny and brisk cold morning didn’t stop over 400 runners and walkers from participating in our club’s first race of 2016. Even with the cold, we were very fortunate to miss the snow the next day. We want to thank everyone that joined us at our event.
The event was timed by Timing by Zornick. Links to the results are on the Y2K Results and Photos page.
A direct link to the Y2K Photos from the event are free for personal use of participants as benefit of the event.

2016 ORRC 5K Series Suspended
ORRC’s Board of Directors accepted the recommendation of our 5K Series director to suspend the ORRC 5K Series in 2016 as we focus our attention and efforts on the club’s budget and other program areas. While we greatly appreciate the participation of 5K series members, overall club interest in the 5K series was low. We are exploring ways to generate more support and enthusiasm for the 5K series and hope to bring it back in the future.
2016 is just around the corner – Y2K Half Marathon and 10K Run registration is open!
Ready to run your first half marathon or 10K of 2016? The 2016 Y2K event features a Half Marathon Run, a 10K Run, and a 10K Walk. The 10K Run/Walk is part of ORRC’s 2016 10K Series.

The half marathon and 10K courses are together for the first three miles, then split, and then rejoin for the last 1.5 miles. Participants can warm up inside the school cafeteria before and after the race and are also treated to a delicious post race pancake breakfast (prepared by and benefitting the local Meals on Wheels organization).
