18th Annual Ooky Spooky 5k on October 22, 2022
There's a chill in the air which must mean it's Ooky Spooky time! In 2004 an inspired Residential Educator and enthusiastic runner, Brad Bannon, came up with the idea to host a 5k race to benefit COTS (Committee on Temporary Shelter) and we have been doing it ever since! We fully support COTS in its mission to advocate for long-term solutions to end homelessness and help those in our community experiencing homelessness.
This fun 5k race challenges runners to get creative with their costumes and enjoy a course that goes through the RPS campus, on the Burlington Bike Path, and through North Beach.
Sign-in begins at 8:00 a.m. and the race kicks off at 9:00 a.m. Runners of all ages and abilities are invited to participate! There is a suggested donation of $15 for adults and $5 for children under 13. We will award prizes for best costumes and best times and each runner will be entered in a raffle for more prizes! You could win a gift card from a local business, Rock Point Maple Syrup, Honey, and more! Snacks and water will be provided for participants.
Each runner needs to complete a waiver before participating in the race. You can complete it before the race and email it to mhuddle@rockpoint.org, or we will have them available on the morning of the event.
If you have questions, email Molly at mhuddle@rockpoint.org or call the school at 802-863-1104.
