BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
In 2010 the first Ava Inspired 5k run and walk starting at Otsego Prairie Park and running the
route down Nashua and 85th and then ending in the park was held. The group also had a
barbeque with about 400 people total for the day.
In 2011 the group held a 5k run and walk starting at Rockwoods/Holiday Inn as part of Otsego
Jamfest and ran the route on Park Ave, into Otsego County Park, and then returned on Park Ave.
to Rockwoods/ Holiday Inn. They had about 340 attendees.
This year the Ava Inspired group has rented the Prairie Park Pavilion and would like to hold the
event there, running the route down Nashua, left on 85th, U-turn and follow 85th back to Nashua
and back to the park. They also plan on holding a picnic lunch for our guests again. The event
will take place on Saturday, August 18"'.
