Olmsted Spirit 5k Race Series

Welcome back to the 2022 Olmsted Spirit 5k! Since 1998 the Olmsted Spirit 5k Run/Walk has been part of the Olmsted Community and we are happy to be back in person for our 24th year!  Race Proceeds will benefit our Olmsted Spirit Scholarship and Community Fund!  This year we have added a 1 mile run and Team Series to our annual event!  

Our Mission:

To bring together the Olmsted and surrounding communities for a fun morning of physical activity.  We will continue our duel fundraising goal we started in 2021 to raise funds for scholarships for OFHS graduating seniors who gave back to their community and local small businesses who give back to the Olmsted Community.  The proceeds raised from this event will be split 50/50 between the scholarships and small business fund.  Together, we will make a difference for this amazing Olmsted Community!
