Why: Each registration supports adults learning to read and write in your area. OFLP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit serving Independence, Sharp, Izard, Jackson, and Stone counties in North Central Arkansas. We teach adults to read, write, do basic math, and/or speak English. All services are free and confidential, relying on grants, donations, and fundraisers.
Our 2025 race will be at the Batesville Community and Aquatics Center, all indoor. Kids swim in the competition pool and run down the hall to the walking track. Each child has a volunteer for safety. Children can choose a "run only" option if uncomfortable with swimming.
Register: Online or by phone for the best deal. Race packets can be picked up in advance or on race day. Day-of registration is $20. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for pre-registered participants.
Participants in age groups start with the pool, then run on the walking track. Activities continue after the race until awards. Each participant receives a t-shirt, medal, $5 aquatics park entry voucher, and a sponsor goody bag.
