OCI Therapy 5K

The OCI Therapy 5K is a local 5K held at Rochester Community Park, benefiting Midwest Mission. The field is typically modest, with finisher counts in recent years ranging from the low 40s to around 90. Participants can expect a less crowded, more spread-out local event. The front of the pack sees competitive times, with top finishers completing the course in the low 20-minute range. Mid-pack runners have recorded times from the mid-30s to upper-40s, varying with the field. The event accommodates both casual participants and those aiming for specific placements. Awards are presented to top finishers and age-group runners, including special prizes for the leading male and female participants. Historically, women have formed a slight majority of the field. The overall character suggests a neighborhood charity run rather than a large regional competition. Early registrants receive a commemorative OCI Therapy 5K shirt.
