I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH.

The Amy Eskue Memorial run opens this year at the Annual Okeene Rattle Snake Hunt. The race will begin at the Okeene Community Building at 8am on Saturday May 3rd. All participants are asked to arrive at 7:30am at the community building. The community building is located at 116 west E street in Okeene, Oklahoma. There will be a 5k fun run and a 1 mile fun walk. This race has been started this year in the remembrance of Amy Eskue.

Amy Eskue was dedicated to the spiritual growth of all those she came in contact with. She also desired for all people to live a happy healthy life style in Christ Jesus. She spent days, months, and years teaching that you could eat right and still enjoy food and life. She taught that exercise benefits your soul, body, and mind. Amy wanted to prove to her congregation and community that anyone could complete a 5k.

Amy stood at the starting line of her first attempt at a 5k. She came in 3rd in her age group. What an accomplishment. One of Amy’s favorite scriptures was: Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Our goal is, by next year, to have our race sanctioned and be an official race. Come and join us, and finish the race. We will also have a float in the parade for the participants to ride on and walk by, after the 5k fun run and fun walk. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer you can call Shalla Terrell at 580-822-3158 and leave a message.
