Did you know Oregon has our very own Senior Games? It’s true. While most of the events are stereotypical “senior” games, I must say that I support people of all ages doing whatever activity they enjoy that helps them get moving. But, since this is RUN Oregon (and not Shuffleboard Oregon – although there is a Shuffleboard competition), let’s talk about the running events. (Click here to see a full rundown of events.)
The weekend of June 21 and 22, 2014, there are two events: A track meet at Summit High School and a 5k run at Riverbend Park. Registration is available online here.
The track meet is on Saturday, June 21 and offers the following running event schedule:
10a: 50m
10:30a: 1500m
11a: 100m
11:30a: 400m
12p: 800m
