Location: Depot at 542 S. Main St in Willard, OH
Race start time: 9:00 a.m.

​It's time to bring road races back to our community!  With cross-country and other sports restarted, we are confident in the capability to follow guidelines related to the Covid-19 pandemic to bring a FREE 5K run & walk to Willard!  This will be a timed 5K on a USATF certified 5K course just as in years past, but with no registration fees.  All participants will also still receive a Run4Hope workout towel, as the event will be treated as an official 5K event!

We are carefully planning a socially-distanced race following covid guidelines set forth by both the state of Ohio and recommendations by the United States Track & Field association and will share updates in the coming weeks.  Although the race will be FREE to participate, all participants must still register and sign a waiver.

Awards will be given for the top overall male and female finishers as well as for the top 3 male and female finishers in the following age group categories: Under 10, 10-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+. We will evaluate registrations on October 21st and age group categories able to support at least 3 participants will be split into a 5-year age group. For example, if the Female 30-39 age group has 10 registered participants, it will be split into a 30-34 and 35-39 age groups if it would result in at least 3 participants in each new age group. This will be beneficial for both runners and walkers, so recruit your friends and family to register and participate!
