Who’s in for a football-themed obstacle run? Join the city of Corvallis on October 21st for the Gridiron 1k/5k Fun Run! This race, which benefits the Oregon State KidSpirit and the Faculty Staff Fitness programs, is full of football drills which each runner must complete to finish on the Oregon State campus.
In the past, drills on this course have included barrel rolls, high knees, lunges, bear crawls, and many other agility-based and strength drills along with good old-fashioned run conditioning.
Everyone knows the best part of football is the tailgating, so after you have run this race, you’ll go directly to the College Tailgate where you can celebrate your victory with food and beverages. Even better, all finishers will receive a Gridiron hat and there will be showering facilities and childcare by KidSpirit provided at no additional cost. That’s worth the entry fee alone!! Stick around for the awards and the door prizes also!
