Pit Run time is almost here! This family oriented event is coming up on October 7, in Neahwa Park in Oneonta, NY. In my opinion, this is one of Oneonta's finest events for many reasons.

The Ricky J. Parisian Pitrun is coming up October 6, 2013 and is celebrating its 20th Anniversary. The Pitrun includes a sanctioned 10k race, 5k run, 2 mile stroll and a kid’s fun run. It's also a community celebration of Rick’s life and a local scholarship fundraiser, too.

The 19th annual Ricky J. Parisian Pit Run was held on Sunday morning in Oneonta. There were three first time winners and one past winner winning this year’s 5k and 10k races in the male and the female divisions.
