Race Registration for the 2024 Olmsted Spirit 5k is NOW LIVE as of Tuesday, December 26, 2023!  

 

Welcome back to the 2024 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 for our 26th year!  Race Proceeds will benefit our Olmsted Spirit Scholarship Fund and the Olmsted Community Center!

We are entering our 2nd Official Year of our Olmsted Spirit Race Series!  Last year turned out to be a close race between our top two women and men in our Inaugural Series!  In the end, Sara Rothkegel and Christian Rasmussen came out on top and earned their $1,000 Prize Purse!  Sara and Christian will be recognized, along with our top overall Female and Male Age Group winners at a special award ceremony in March of 2024.  Sara and Christian will also be recognized again in front of our Spirit Family at the Award Ceremony on May 5th!  

We are excited to be adding an awesome existing Olmsted Community Race (that has such an amazing cause raising money for Alzheimers Research) into the mix this year that will end up being the second of five races in our growing Series!  The 15th Annual Fat Little 5K is now part of our series and will take place between our Spirit 5k and the Red2Blue Station Run on Saturday, June 15th at Fat Little Buddies! 

 

***For our 2024 Top Female and Male Series Champions, each will receive a $1,200 Cash Prize Purse and Series Trophy!  Do you have what it takes to become our Series Champ?!***

 

***We are excited to also be adding our First Annual Youth Series Championship! 

Each of our five races will now include a 400 meter race for our Youth Championship Series

Our Youth Championship will be scored like our Adult Series.  The Top 10 Overall female and male finishers will receive the following points:

1st Place - 20pts, 2nd - 18pts, 3rd - 16pts, 4th - 14pts, 5th - 12pts, 6th - 10pts, 7th - 8pts, 8th - 6pts, 9th - 4pts, 10th - 2pts

We will have two female/male divisions - Blue Division is Ages 10 and Under and Gold Division is Ages 11 -14

The Overall Female and Male in Each Division will receive a Series Championship Trophy and a $200 Gift Card to Second Sole Lakewood!  

 

**** To ensure you receive one of our awesome soft style race t-shirts, please register no later. than Sunday, April 21st, 2024! ****

 

 

Our Mission:

To bring together our Olmsted and surrounding communities for a fun morning of family friendly and competitive 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 between the Scholarship Fund and the Olmsted Community Center.  Together, we will make a difference for this amazing Olmsted Community!
