Optimist Club of Erie

This Year's Optimist Club of Erie's Tri-Star Basketball Challenge was held on February 8th at 7:00pm in the Erie Middle School gym. Girls and Boys between the ages of 8 & 13 competed in this skills challenge that encourages physical activity, self-confidence, competition and fun. Contestants compete against others in their own age and gender group and are given a score in each of the three skills: dribbling, shooting and passing. Trophies were given to the first place winners and each age and gender category and the top three winners of each category will go on to the regional tournament. Regional winners compete at the district finals held at the Pepsi Center before a Nuggets game. Winners are announced to the crowd before the game.

Training season for the 27th Annual Eerie Erie 5k/10k and Goblin Run is upon us.  This year the race will occur on Halloween Day (October 31) at 9:30am.  This race has gathered a strong following and we are expecting a great turnout this year.  The Eerie Erie has a long standing tradition of beginning and ending in the great old town Erie area.  Those who venture in the 10k (map) race will get the spooks when running past the Erie Cemetery, but will also enjoy the grand scenery and mountain views during their journey.  The 5k (map) runners will enjoy the run through beautiful old town Erie, and revisit the bridge over coal creek which marks the turnaround point of the run.  For the young ones that are too little for these runs, we will once again have the famous Goblin Run (1/4 mile event).

The Eerie Erie is a great tradition, and this is the Optimist Club of Erie's key fund raising event.  So put on that running costume, contribute to a great cause, improve your health, and have lots of fun.

Photos from the event will be available from RunningGuru, this year's official photographer.

We look forward to seeing you there!
