The event offers something for the whole family: a 5K walk\/run, motorcycle ride, music, and great food!<\/p>\n<p>The day will start at 10AM with an exciting 5K run\/walk around the famous Oswego Speedway.\u00a0The run\/walk will have a NASCAR theme and we are encouraging all runners to dress in their\u00a0favorite driver or NASCAR apparel, including local drivers. The 5K will be timed, though not\u00a0professionally, and there will be prizes awarded for the fastest male and female runners.<\/p>\n<p>After the 5K, runners are invited to enjoy a fantastic BBQ at Lighthouse Lanes. This year we <!--more-->will\u00a0have a choice of pulled pork or BBQ chicken until they are gone. We will once again be offering\u00a0a drive-up service later in the day for those attending the races that evening. Tickets for just the\u00a0BBQ are available on our website. There will be bounce houses and games for the kids. We will\u00a0also have live music in the afternoon by local band Vitamin X featuring Ron Richards on guitar\u00a0and vocals, Tim Stone on bass and vocals, and John Bletch on percussion.<\/p>\n<p>This event provides a chance for the whole community to come together and shine as we take\u00a0care of neighbors in need. Funding raised through the event will be used for people in Oswego\u00a0County who cannot afford a ramp or home accessibility modifications. Your support for this\u00a0event makes it possible for people to remain at home and not be forced into a nursing home. It\u00a0also means that people can come home from rehab or the hospital in a much quicker time\u00a0frame. ARISE &amp; Ride for Ramps allows people with disabilities to return to their community and\u00a0feel hopeful once again as they rejoin their families to live in dignity.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that you\u2019ll share this day with us. Come be part of \u201cOUR\u201d family and in turn let\u2019s give\u00a0independence to our neighbors and their families.
