Run, Ride, Rock and Roll

Saturday, May 17, 2014 marks the 27th annual Full Moon 5k Run/Walk and 1‐mile family fun run. The Full Moon Run is hosted by the Full Moon Café and will again benefit River Parks Authority. Net proceeds from the event are contributed toward operations and capital improvements at River Parks. The Full Moon Run has contributed a cumulative donation of more than $80,000 over the past decade. Proceeds from this year’s event will help maintain Park elements and amenities.

The race is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 2014 at Veterans Park located at 21st and Boulder. Activities for this family event will begin at 6 p.m. featuring live music, a free “Kid’s Zone” and a variety of food and beverages. The Full Moon 5k Run is the largest night run in the state of Oklahoma and has established itself as a community‐wide event for the Northeast Oklahoma region. More than 1,500 participants are expected for this year’s event. The race is USATF sanctioned and certified and features a 5k Race/Walk and a 1‐mile family fun run along the Arkansas River.

New in 2014 – Ride and Roll! Bicycles and Longboards Welcome!
