Join us for our Fifth Annual 5k Fun Run & Walk, the Loco Moco 5k (previously the Husky Hustle)!
This is a fundraising event for our Oneida Elementary PTO. Our organization's mission is to provide opportunities for our students at no/low cost so funding isn't an issue for families struggling with financial concerns. This can range from field trips, scholarships, celebrations, and everything in between.
Our goal is to raise money to continue our support for our schools while also creating a fun and safe community event.
Even if you don't plan on running the course, come for the food, vendors, and other fun activities!

This 5K Run/Walk is in memory of Dwight L. Evans, former mayor of Sherrill and organizer of the first fireworks display at the gazebo. He was an avid reader and lifelong resident of Sherrill who was instrumental in securing funds and plans for the Sherrill Gazebo, a place of community events and concerts since 1989.
Dwight's grandchildren participate in running events and he was there to cheer them on at many of their races.
All proceeds from the Fireworks Run will benefit the Sherrill Kenwood Library and the greater VVS Community.

This race (Walkers are welcome!) is all about raising money for great organizations in the Mohawk Valley and surrounding area. The motivation for this race is to raise money for autism awareness. All money raised will be donated to Kelberman. Donations will also be made to the Trenton Fish and Game Club and the Utica Road Runners for their support. The race will donate money to the overall male and female race winners' charity of choice.
Quality USA made Drymax socks will be given to the first 100 participants. Big thank you to Drymax for donating the socks, helping to keep costs down!!! https://www.drymaxsports.com/
The course is run on the non-technical hiking/ski trails that wind through the pines and open hardwoods of the Trenton Fish and Game Club. Aid stations will provide water. Timing will be provided by the Utica Road Runners. The race, by design, will be low-key in order to maximize the donations made to the local organizations. Therefore, there are no age group awards.
