Stillwater’s Jumpin’ Little Juke Joint will host the event Oct. 24. Hundreds of participants will take to the Stillwater streets to raise money for the Stillwater Area United Way and its 24 community agencies.
Stillwater Medical Center will host this year’s Family Fun Zone entertaining the younger ones in the lot north of Eskimo Joe’s from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The Fun Run is a one-mile race geared at family participation and will begin at 4:30 p.m. The 5K begins at 5 p.m., and the route travels through the Oklahoma State University campus.
“We are proud of how successful Eskimo Joe’s Juke Joint Jog has been for the Stillwater Area United Way these last 20-plus years,” said Stan Clark, Eskimo Joe’s president and founder.
