I moved here in 2009 and this was my first race done in this area.  I was still acclimating to weather conditions and training here but I thought I would try my hand at this race.  It was so much fun.  Super flat course with a hometown feel.  I took 2nd in my age group with a time of 23:58.  
I went home and grab the family and came back to the festival.  It was a great way to get to know Missouri and all the festivals that get started in the fall season!
This race is definitely a must do, if you like small town races!

Jacob Brown Memorial 5k

6/25/2019

Picture
Every year my husband and I host a 5k to fund a scholarship in honor of one of our former student athletes.

Jacob Brown was a multi time all state runner for Humansville High School who went on to compete at the collegiate level. In 2016, he passed away unexpectedly due to a tragic accident. The scholarship blesses Humansville High School graduates who participate in track and/or cross country and demonstrate Jacob’s work ethic.

The race will take place July 20 at 7:00pm. The cost is $25 which includes a shirt, raffle tickets, post race food and a fireworks show. Prizes are given to the individual winners, as well as age group winners. We rarely have full age groups, so this is a wonderful opportunity to support a great cause and get an award!

Miracle Mile 5k

Picture Medical Mile 5k run / walk
by Charlie Hungerford
OMRR member
​As I get to know runners, it seems like everyone has that "one race" that is their benchmark race, or their bucket list race, or their goal race - a race that inspires and drives them toward their running goals. For me, that race is the Cox Medical Mile 5K. While I had walked the race prior to becoming a runner, I now look at this annual event as the race where I became a runner. It was the first 5K where, without any planning or training, I decided to see if I could simply run part of the route. That was 2012, and I probably ran about 1 mile in one and two block stretches. I remember finishing and thinking, "well, that wasn't so bad." I returned the next year, with some training and practice under my belt, and was able to run the entire 5K without stopping - a first time accomplishment for me. The next year, I progressed to breaking that magical 30-minute 5K mark. The Cox Medical Mile has been more than just a race for me. It's my annual reflection of what drew me to running, and it's a reminder of how far I've come in 7 years.
