A Brave Halloween 5k was a first year race that raises funds for the Talawanda High School Track and Field Team. It was held on a Tuesday Evening at Oxford Community Park in Oxford OH. I was in Oxford during the day so I decided to spend extra time in Oxford and do this race.
The race started near the football field at the Oxford Community Park. They had about 90 runners and walkers for the race. Race Day Registration was $20 and included a t-shirt if you got there early enough. The course went through a residential area across from the park and then on the paths of the Park. It was mostly flat with a few barely noticeable uphills and downhills. They had one waterstop and the miles were marked with timers. Conditions for the race were cold, windy with a light rain due to the remnants of Sandy. Post race featured Cheese Pizza and bread sticks from Larosa's, bananas, apples, water and chocolate chip cookies. The Pizza was nice on a cold and windy evening. Results did take awhile to do so I left before the awards were handed out as I dreaded the 1 hour drive from Oxford to Cincinnati at night in the cold rain. Overall, it was a nice fun race with a flat course and plenty of cheerful volunteers on a dreary night. I do not know if I will do it next year as I may not be in Oxford on the same day the race is held next year. Go to www.abravehalloween5k.com for race results and photos.
