PrairieFest 5K & One Mile Prairie Dog Jog

The 3rd Annual I Raced The Law 5k and Color Run* is raising money for the Oswego Public Safety Cadets Post #1833. Proceeds from this race will go towards paying for equipment, training, and towards lowering the cost for participation in the 2027 Public Safety Cadets Summer Showdown. Race against a Police Officer in your age/gender bracket on our course. Everyone gets a t-shirt and if you beat the officer's time you can check off the I Won box on the t-shirt. Also offered this year for the first time is a 1 Mile Color Run.

Race Packet pickup will be at the Oswego Police Department located at 3355 Woolley Rd from 800am to 500pm 4/16/26 and 4/17/26. Day of packet pickup will begin at 800am the morning of the race at the race site. Day of registration begins at 800am.
