Get ready for an exciting and community-centered event at the Bob Alvarez Run For Your Health Prediction 5K and the Lyle Smith Fun Runs, happening from September 27 to October 4, 2025, in the beautiful town of Sherwood, Defiance. This vibrant event is designed to promote health and wellness while benefiting the Fairview Elementary running club and supporting an end-of-the-school year reading award program.

Participants can choose from a fast and flat 5K run/walk, a thrilling one-mile fun run, or a delightful half-mile kids run, all taking place at Fairview Elementary School. The 5K will kick off at 6:45 PM on the first day of the event, followed by the Half-Mile GLOW Run for younger participants at 8:00 PM, and the One Mile GLOW Run at 8:15 PM. With registration fees designed to accommodate everyone, this is a fantastic opportunity to get active, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and potentially win prizes for the closest race predictions.
