Register For O'Fallon Run Walk, Cinco de Mayo Costume Contest

Registration is open for the annual 5K Run/Walk, scheduled for Saturday, May 5.

This year’s 5K Run/Walk features a Cinco de Mayo costume contest for participants, with prizes for the top three athletes who best exemplify the spirit of Cinco de Mayo.

The costumes will be judged as participants cross the finish line, and an awards ceremony for contest and RSC 5K race winners will be held immediately following the race.

The run/walk opens festivities for the RSC Fitness Festival, which will begin at 9 a.m. and continue through noon with free admission, family and health-related activities, and free use of the Renaud Spirit Center’s recreational facilities.

“We like to stress the fun side of fitness and encourage friendly competition, too, so whether you want to win first place, try for a new ‘personal best’ record or just get some healthy exercise with friends and family, you’ll have a great time,” said Ty Joyce, Fitness Recreation Specialist, said in a news release.

Register online or call 636-474-2732.

The entry fee through April 13 is $15 for ages 14 and under, and $20 for ages 15 and older, with no additional charge to enter the costume contest.

Participants registering by April 13 are guaranteed a T-shirt in their preferred size. A $5 fee will be added to late registration from April 14 through May 4. A $10 late fee will be charged for race day registration, and T-shirts are not guaranteed to be available to race day entrants.
