Oktoberfest Rotary Run

Every third Sunday in October is our Annual Oktoberfest 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Walk! This run/walk is a fundraiser to support BN Sunrise Rotary’s Youth Services and the CCHS Rotaract Club.  The run is a chip-timed 5K on the Constitution Trail from GE park, looping through Tipton Trails, and back to GE park. Blacktop trails the whole way.
