Oregon Tech Twilight 5K Fun Run

🏃‍♂️ Oregon Tech Twilight 5K Fun Run

The Oregon Tech Twilight 5K Fun Run is hosted by Oregon Tech Wellbeing in collaboration with the Student Veterans Program, and as part of community Memorial Day events, honors all veterans who have given their lives in the name of freedom. The route has been adjusted this year! So, the Fun Run will begin at Eulalona (formerly known as Kit Carson) Park, with the route proceeding up the trail that runs parallel to Crater Lake Parkway, to El Dorado, up Daggett, and then right on Bryant Williams Way. Participants will complete one loop around campus, with the finish line inside Moehl Stadium. Food trucks will be located between the stadium and the Athletics Building, with a closing awards ceremony once all finish times are recorded. Awards will be given for overall finishers and by age group.
