Description

  1. Join us for The Escape the Elves 5K hosted by South Hall Rotary Club in Downtown Oakwood, GA.  This fun-filled morning will feature a chance to hang out with Santa before the race and it gives his pesky elves plenty of time to hide along the course!  Be sure to look out for a few mischievous elves along the way!  Dress for the season and you may find the chance to open a gift early as we will award the most festive outfit at the event.  The run will kick off at the Oakwood Community Center! The 5K course is USATF Certified!
