I now have marathon fever and I enjoy doing a lot of the 5k's at OSU because I usually see professors and classmates that 1 was surprised to see racing. There are also great prizes most of the time. At the Powered by Orange race, I didn’t even have to come in first to win a prize!” - Alyssa Jones ujccixrm

There was face-painting, the opportunity to go to the game in costume, the traditional bonfire, a 5K race, the annual parade, and much more. During the parade a number of orginizations showed up, including the equestrain team, who was decked out in full OSU colors. Members of the differnt ROTC programs came dressed to the nines and our marching band set the mood with lively music. If that wasn’t enough, the dance team came ready to perform and the largest fire turck in Corvallis thundered down the street adorned with the cheer squad. During the football game, students and members of the band performed Michael Jack- son's Thriller, showing up in almost identical costumes as seen in the video. Students also came to the game dressed in their best costumes to celebrate all hollows eve. And to top it all off, the Beavers won the game against UCLA 26-19. The Powered by Orange 5K walk run was also held during Homecoming on a classically Oregonian overcast afternoon. The top male finisher was Michael Detiennne with a time of 17:04.2.
