About the Dr. O Memorial 5K Walk/Run
This race honors a physician who spent decades providing street medicine to unhoused patients, and the cause stays present on race day. The route is a standard road distance through Lewis Center, and the pace of the field tends to reflect the spirit of the man it remembers, someone who ran with colleagues and students for the joy of it.
The Street Medicine team sets up at the start area to collect gently used clothing, hoodies and athletic shoes especially, for patients in the program. Bringing a donation enters you into a raffle. It gives the post-race gathering a purpose beyond the usual milling around.

The Dr. O Memorial 5K Walk/Run has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
