Full Moon 5km Run and Concert by the
“Light of the Silvery Moon”
Saturday, May 10, 2008 marks the 21ST annual Full Moon 5k Run/Walk and 1-mile family fun run. The Full Moon 5k Run is a partnership between the Full Moon Café and the River Parks Authority. The River Parks Authority, a public trust authority, was created in 1974 by joint action of the City of Tulsa and Tulsa County. The Authority's mission is to maintain, preserve and develop the Arkansas River and/or land areas adjacent to the river within Tulsa County for the economic and cultural benefit of the community and to promote public use of all park lands and facilities under the Authority's jurisdiction.
The Full Moon Run contributed $7,500 to the River Parks Authority from the net proceeds of the 2007 run. Funds from this years run will go toward a new Frisbee disk golf course.
The race day is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2008 at Veteran’s Park located at 21st and Boulder. Activities for this family event will begin at 6:00 p.m. featuring local band, a “Kid’s Zone” and a variety of food and beverages. The Full Moon 5k Run is the largest night run in the state of Oklahoma and has established itself as a community wide event for the Northeast Oklahoma region. Over 2,500 participants are expected for this year’s event. The race is USATF sanctioned and certified and features a 5k Race/Walk, a 5k corporate relay race, and a 1-mile family fun run all in along the Arkansas River.
