2018 ORRRC Cross Country 5k

The Cross Country 5K was at 10am on October 13th at Grant Park in Centerville.

This race is sponsored by the Ohio River Road Runners Club (ORRRC) which is the local Dayton chapter of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). Our club is the 16th largest club, and puts on a wide variety of races each year many of which are free to members.

The Cross Country 5k is part of the team series events, and a few of my teammates on the 5 Rivers Running Team also ran. There are 11 monthly team events in the series, which have a fun team scoring for the registered teams. These races are also open to runners not associated with a team.

This years race, which was moved to a brand new course, was a slightly longer than a usual 5k, and according to the race website covered 3.3 miles.

Race finishers received a green cooling towel with the Ohio River Road Runners logo.

The 5 Rivers Running Team is the only team that practices together with two weekly track speed-work sessions on Monday and Wednesday nights. Many members of our team also do long runs together on Saturday mornings.
