You and a guest are cordially invited to the Oak Park Runners Club's Annual Holiday Party and Awards Gala, the Merry Medal Mingle!

Join us on Sunday, December 7th, 2025, at 12:00 PM at the elegant Trattoria 225, located at 225 Harrison Street in Oak Park. Indulge in a delicious meal while we honor our top runners with distinguished awards. Enjoy exciting raffle prizes and ample opportunities to mingle with fellow club members.

Tickets have sold out in previous years, so be sure to reserve your spot early. Festive cocktail attire is encouraged to add to the holiday spirit, and as a fun twist this year, wear your favorite race medal with your holiday best! We will also have a professional photographer on site from 12:00-3:00 pm.

Entrance ticket includes 1 Meal, 1 Drink Ticket, 1 Prize Ticket, and a special OPRC Gift for all attendees. 

This year, wood-fired pizza will be served at appetizer stations, salad and lunch (including both pasta and meat entrees) will be served family style, and dessert will be served at dessert stations. We will sit down for salad and lunch at 12:45 PM.

We are also looking forward to a short interlude with musical entertainment by our very own Terrence Keleher and Dave Schaub.  Additional prize tickets and drink tickets can be purchased ahead of time or at the event. If you would like to purchase tickets at the event, please bring cash!
