Oak Grove Race for a Reason Community Walk-a-Thon

The 1st Annual Oak Grove Center Walk-A-Thon is a friendly community walk around a quarter mile track located at the Murrieta campus. Walkers, runners, baby strollers and senior scooters are invited to walk or run as much as they wish between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. 

Registration for participants is $20.  However, the registration fee will be waived for individuals that raise $75 or more.  Participants are encouraged to visit http://www.active.com/donate/TeamOakGrove to set up their own personal fundraising page for friends and family to support them in the walk-a-thon.  

Additional details of the event include a fun jump for kids and food vendors like Juice It Up, Fired Up Mobile Pizza and Charley’s Subs.  Entertainment will be provided by DJ James Genes from Day & Night DJ Service.
