Organiser's Description
2025 RACE REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!!

This inclusive, family-friendly event is a celebration of health, wellness, and local connection, encouraging neighbors of all ages to enjoy the outdoors together.
COURSE INFORMATION
1-MILE FUN RUN
The 1-Mile Fun Run begins in OHara Township Community Park, tracing the northern perimeter trail before turning onto the scenic Salamander Trail for a brief out-and-back along the peaceful Sycamore Run River. A final lap around the OHara Park pond completes this family-friendly course ideal for participants of all ages and experience levels.
5K RUN
The 5K kicks off with a loop around the wide paths of OHara Park before joining the Salamander Trail and weaving through Fay and Salamander Parks. Runners will circle the newly redeveloped McCahill Park, then return via the opposite side of Salamander Park, following the trail back to OHara for a final lap around the pond. A picturesque and engaging course for both casual and seasoned runners.
_For everyones safety, please no strollers or dogs on the course._

After the run, stick around for refreshments, music, kids activities, and local vendor booths. Meet your neighbors, visit sponsor tents, and enjoy a few surprises along the trails. All community members, friends, and families are welcome - whether youre racing or cheering from the sidelines.
