Join us for the uplifting Arthur E. Schumacher Memorial 5K Race on Sunday, August 17, 2025, in the heart of Valley City, Medina! This special event is not just a race; it’s a heartfelt tribute to Assistant Chief Arthur Schumacher, who selflessly served our community until his untimely passing during a water rescue. Organized by the Valley City Community Group, this annual race is part of the vibrant Valley City Street Fair, bringing together community spirit and a commitment to honoring our local heroes. Participants can also enjoy a fun 1-mile run, making it a perfect day for families and fitness enthusiasts alike.

All proceeds from the race will support the Arthur E. Schumacher Scholarship Fund, dedicated to empowering local firefighters to further their education in fire and EMS training. After a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, we’re thrilled to bring back this cherished event, encouraging runners and community members to come together in a celebration of resilience, remembrance, and camaraderie. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this meaningful occasion in Valley City!
