Join us for the 15th Annual Ocean Park 5K Race sponsored by the Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution. This is one of the few evening races in the entire state, always attracting top runners as they prepare for the Beach2Beacon on the following weekend. The Ocean Park 5K winds through towering pines and along the beach before finishing in the town square in front of hundreds of enthusiastic supporters. There will be cash prizes for breaking the course records for men and for women.

The first 250 runners receive 2011 OP 5K t-shirt. Pre-registration fee of $17, in person at the OPA Office, via mail, or online at www.runreg.com or click here for downloadable registration form. Race Day registration is $20. 1K Fun Run registration: $3 without t-shirt or $10 with t-shirt. Race day registration begins at 4:00 pm in the Rec. Hall. Checks must be payable to the Ocean Park Association.
