Race for the Light

22nd RACE FOR THE LIGHT 5K FUN RUN/WALK

Registration Now Open!

The first 200 people to register will receive a Tri-Function Blinking Light, donated by 4imprint. This versatile light can keep you safe and stylish all year long, whether you’re jogging at dusk or biking at night.
The 2024 RFTL is returning to the EAA Grounds. Mark your calendars and register today!

Put on your favorite holiday gear and join family and friends as we descend upon the EAA Grounds on Saturday, December 7, for the 22nd annual Race for the Light 5K Fun Run/Walk, hosted by and benefiting Oshkosh Area United Way.

Your journey begins at the new EAA Youth Education Center (EAA Aviation Museum) and takes you through Celebration of Lights, now located at Camp Scholler. Join this fun holiday tradition to kick off the season of giving.

Registration also includes a race T-shirt*, a set of jingly, jingle bells, a dose of holiday spirit, and serious kudos for wearing an ugly holiday sweater or fun costume.

For more information or to donate, call (920) 235-8560 or email oauw@oshkoshunitedway.org.

*We can only guarantee a shirt for those registered by November 17. After this date, we cannot guarantee you will receive a race shirt.
