The Oroville City Council is proud to present the Oroville 5K River Run/Walk that will happen on Saturday, May 19, 2012 which is the opening day of Oroville’s Farmers Market. The Saturday Farmers Market has been a favorite gathering place for locals for the past several years displaying and providing fresh local produce, fruit, flowers and other locally produced items.
A healthy living push is being made by the market this year and the opportunity to participate in a run/walk that takes people from the Historic State Theatre through downtown up the levee with cool breezes, spring salmon jumping in the beautiful Feather River and passing historic homes back to the market area. Besides the traditional Farmers Market activities additional items are planned for this special day which will include health and exercise exhibits, food cooking and sampling. Mark your calendar for both the opening day of Oroville’s Farmers Market and the 5k run/walk, both events will provide a great “kick” to a healthier late spring early summer.

The event will start at the corner of Myers and Bird Streets in front of the Historic State Theater in Downtown Oroville.
Packet Pickup / Expo
