Otterbein Elementary School 5k/1k Run

The 8th Otterbein Elementary 5K Run/Walk will be a Live and Virtual Run this year. There will also be a Live free 1k fun run for kids at the event. All proceeds from the event will go towards the Otterbein PTO. The funds used will go toward items for classrooms, updates to the school, class trips and more.  If you are out of state or don't feel comfortable to come to the live event, you have the option to do virtual and still support and run/walk the 5k.  There is a route on this website if you need a distance refence or have a route already made for you. You can run anytime on May 6th. After you run, you go on the website and put in your time. 

Students Fundraiser starts March 15 thru April 19, so we can give prizes before the race. A fundraiser letter will be coming to students at school that will give detailed directions on how to register students and/or add students to group(teacher) to upload money raised. The money raised by each student goes toward their registration fee and anything more will go to the PTO fund.
