1.5 mile walk on the Kelsy Oldham Loop

For years my teams and I did a parents relay race, and a walk option. In that tradition, I am offering a 1.5 walk starting at 9:30. You will start at the traditional start line and walk past the tennis courts to the Kelsy Oldham loop and on to the traditional finish line. The Willamette Valley Road Runner's Kelsy Oldham Scholarship is a benefactor of the SaxEn Scholarship event (I am the scholarship chairperson). This is not a timed event. Great Harvest goodies will be given to the top 10 finishers of the walk (per tradition)! Stick around and cheer for the 5K and 800m participants!
Start Time:
