Grab your gnome hats along with a group of friends because registration is now open for our 3rd annual Garden Gnome Run to take place on May 3rd, 2015. Participants receive a Youth Garden tomato plant, take home a beautiful glass finisher medal and a chance to win some great raffle prizes! Participants may also order an “I Rocked the Gnome” tech shirt for $15.00 through April 19th.
The race starts and finishes in the CSC parking lot (at the southwest corner of 2nd and Western, kitty-corner from the CSC Youth Garden in downtown Corvallis). The course is described as a flat, paved course following the bike path in Southwest Corvallis through the beautiful Avery and Pioneer Park. The participants in the 10K or 15K will tour Starker Arts Park as well. Click here for the course map for the 5K, 10K and 15K and click here for the 1K course map.
Last year’s event looked like it was a ton of fun and you don’t want to miss out on this budget friendly event this year! Contests, photo ops, activities for the kids, fresh food for sale and more. Check out last year’s race recap for the full scoop on the 2014 event. If you participated last year, take the Gnome Challenge! If you ran the Gnome Run last year and opt for a race of a longer distance this year, you will receive a $5 gift certificate good for any plants or products at the CSC Youth Garden Farmers’ Market Booth.
