About the Waves of Education 6th Annual 5k Run/Walk & Family Fun
The course runs through Oak Ridge Park, and the organizer describes it as fast, which suggests flat pavement or packed paths with little to slow you down. The race benefits an organization that funds education for children in Uganda, so there is a cause behind the entry fee that goes beyond the local finish line.
After the race, the park fills out with a festival that includes face painting, a magician, caricatures, lawn games, and a pre-race yoga stretch. Food stays around after finishing, and the overall shape of the morning is as much a family outing as it is a race.
