OMS to host virtual Trot it Off 5K walk/run for scholarship fund

Nov. 25-Dec. 4 — VIRTUAL — As a way of connecting with friends near and far, the Okemo Mountain School (OMS) has decided to host a Virtual Trot it Off 5K this year.

The run/walk will take place in a location of your choosing anytime between Nov. 25 and Dec. 4. This running/walking race is perfect for the avid runner or the recreational walker hoping to burn off some calories from that extra serving of Thanksgiving pie. Participate individually or as a team and enter to win great prizes. Registration is $20 for individual participants or $100 for a team registration.

Every person that registers to complete the 5K will be entered to win an OMS Big Truck hat and if you submit a photo or video of you participating, you will be entered twice.

OMS also has a Strava account if you would like to get competitive with your 5K. Proceeds go to the OMS Scholarship Fund. For questions or to submit pictures of your Trot it Off 5K, please email Ashley Belcher at abelcher@okemomountainschool.org.
