This fun low-key event is not your everyday ORRRC race. The Gift Exchange 5k is a fun way to celebrate the holidays through running. Instead of an entry fee, all participants are to bring a wrapped gift (valued at around $10). At the end of the race, we will have a giant gift exchange (hence the name of the race) among all participants.

WHEN: Saturday, January 3 at 10:00 a.m.

LOCATION: Kettering Recreation Complex, 2900 Glengarry Drive, Kettering, OH 45420.  

PRE-REGISTRATION: Register at https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Kettering/ORRRCGiftExchange5k

REGISTRATION: For onsite registration, we recommend you arrive at least one hour before the race to park, register and warm-up prior to the race start.

FEES: There are no traditional entry fees for this race. Instead of an entry fee, all participants are to bring a wrapped gift valued at around $10 to be entered in the gift exchange.

Please note: do not bring alcoholic beverages or adult gifts to this race – this is a family-friendly event and children may receive your gift during the exchange.
