Final Summer Series Event

5K Run

Family 1 Mile

It's birthday time for the PPRR. You can run and eat your cake too!

Registration Options

Race Day Registration Only: Starting at 7:00 am.

Our Great Race originated in 2005 as a celebration of the PPRR's 30th birthday.  It was small, but everybody knew everybody else.  Lyn Hale made a birthday cake.  Jim Beckenhaupt found a new calling as a race announcer and emcee. Pat Lockhart came up with a new award scheme, giving awards to the LOTP, MOTP, and EOTP for both male and female.  These equate to Lead Of The Pack, Middle Of The Pack, and End Of The Pack.

Originally intended as a one-time event, the club decided to continue the event, because you can never celebrate too many birthdays and chow down on too many birthday cakes.
