Over the 4th weekend my family made the annual trek down to Willburton, OK to visit with family and participate in the Red Oak 5K. OK...I have to admit, it is a little town in the middle of no where, Oklahoma, but don't be fooled by little towns...many times they put on great races! For a whopping entry fee of $10 here's what you get: 1) entry to a good 5k race, 2) kids race to follow 5K, 3) award medals, 4) course aid station, 5) water + fruit at finish, 6) biscuit and gravy breakfast at local church,& 7) race t-shirt. So my point in all of this is that there are still plenty of races out there that can provide a good event for a small entry fee. Don't get me wrong...RDs need to make some money, but some of these folks are dragging us racers across the financial coals! So do a little searching and you can find great races for a great price!
