Lovin' Lincoln 5K and Family Fun Run

The second annual Lovin' Lincoln 5‐K Race and Family Fun Run will take place in South Corvallis in conjunction with the Lincoln Carnival. Not only does this race showcase Lincoln Elementary's strong commitment to fitness and student wellness, it also represents the diversity of the school, as the race is sure to draw runners of every age, race and ability. The race will finish as the 5th Annual Lincoln Carnival kicks off, so bring your family and stay the afternoon. In addition to the run, this fun‐filled multicultural day of celebration will feature music, dance, live entertainment by Lincoln students and local cultural groups, games and activities for children and families, a community resource fair, prizes, an auction and food from local businesses.

Lovin' Lincoln 5‐K Race and Family Fun Run and Lincoln Carnival are put on by the Lincoln Parent Teacher Organization. Proceeds from the race and the Carnival will directly support the students, teachers and programs at Lincoln School. This past year, the PTO funded field trips for every student, kept a snack closet filled so teachers did not have to buy food with their own money, and provided enrichment supplies for each classroom.

The 2nd annual Lovin' Lincoln 5K Race and Family Fun Run takes place on Saturday, June 8 beginning at 11 a.m. for the 5‐K, followed by a .25 mile Family Fun Run at 12:30 p.m. Runners need to be in the holding area 15 minutes before their starting times.

The beautiful, mostly flat 5K course starts at Lincoln school and heads into the Lincoln neighborhood and then connects to the trail system in Willamette Park. After a foot bridge crossing and short stair climb runners head back into the Lincoln neighborhood and finish their race on the Lincoln soccer field.

Registration and the start/finish are located at the rear of Lincoln Elementary adjacent to the playground at 110 SE Alexander Ave.

For the safety of everyone, no dogs, bicycles, or roller skates/blades will be allowed in the run. Strollers allowed in the 5-K at the discretion of each participant as the stroller will have to be maneuvered up a series of stairs mid-race.

A limited number of Lincoln Elementary t-shirts will be available for Lovin' Lincoln 5K Race t‐shirts are available with early registration to the 5K for $10.

An award will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each event. The first place runner in each age and gender category will receive an award. The fastest runner age 13 or under will win a Lincoln Elementary t-shirt!
