History
Named for a running icon in the Brookings community, the Scotty Roberts 5K takes place the evening before the marathon. Dr. Roberts ran before running was even considered good for you, and his efforts helped pave the way for Brookings running over many years. This event provides a great chance to participate in a friendly race and still volunteer or cheer for your favorite runner on Saturday. Getting involved in marathon weekend couldn’t be easier.
