Come join us for the in person Oconee Therapeutic Riding 5K Run/Walk to be held on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at Briarwood Baptist Church in Watkinsville, GA. The course will wind through the adjacent neighborhood of Northwest Woods. This year we are offering a Virtual 5K option. Run your 5K anytime before August 29 at 12 noon and submit your finish time on the results page. Virtual runners receive no shirts and no awards. Proceeds from the race will go towards the continued programs of Oconee Therapeutic Riding and their work with children and adults with special needs, including scholarships.
Special and creative awards will be presented to Overall Male/Female, Masters Male/Female, and top three Male/Female in age groups beginning 10 and under through 80 and over.
