Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Oktoberfest 10K/5K, Kids Superhero Run

Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists, PC is partnering with MK Jetting and Televising to put on the 2024 ORS Oktoberfest 10k / 5K, Kids Superhero Run.  This race has changed locations and time of year over its tenure but ORS is proud to be offering this community event for over 30 years!

We are changing locations!!!!  Why not???!!  This year's festivities will be held at Consumer's Energy Headquarters, 1Energy Plaza.  With the wide-open spaces, public parking structures adjacent, AND the City of Jackson trail systems it is a win from a safety and experience aspect.  

This year's courses will take participants along the City of Jackson, Parks and Recreation Trail System and will finish at Consumer’s Energy 1 Energy Plaza. A post-race breakfast will be made on site by Doll n Burger's chefs. The kids Superhero Run is a fan favorite where costumes are encouraged.  Children 10 and under will join adult superhero’s (Superhero’s Unite) for a fun run, will a villain be found? 

All Oktoberfest participants will receive post-race re-fueling ON-SITE by Doll n Burgers!!
