Organiser's Description
WORLD RACE FOR HOPE 5K FOR A HEALTHIER & MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Waste-Free Dayton [https://www.wastefreedayton.org] presents the 17TH ANNUAL WORLD RACE FOR HOPE 5K, which takes place on New Year's Day and throughout January 2024 to raise awareness of living more sustainably and caring for our community. There are two registration options, the in-person 5k in Troy, Ohio on January 1st, and a virtual race that you can do anywhere, anytime during the month of January.
RACE FOR HOPE TROY 5K
Chip timing is back! After a free, no frills race the last few years, with the transfer of this race to Waste-Free Dayton, we decided to make it a formal event again this year by having official chip timing by Speedy Feet. The start and finish will be at the Gazebo on the river levee bike path by Hobart Arena, with the course going out and back on the bike path along the river.
Early Registration, October 1st - November 30: $20
Normal Registration, December 1 - January 1: $25
OUR ZERO-WASTE INITIATIVE
Consistent with Waste-Free Dayton's mission, we are striving to make this race zero waste or as close as possible.
* Bring your own reusable water bottle
* We are not offering race shirts. 92 million tons of clothing end up in landfills each year!
* We will compost any food waste from the post-race treats (e.g. banana peels and other fruit scraps)
VIRTUAL RACE FOR HOPE
If you don't reside in the Dayton area, or you would rather support the cause by running wherever you are at, inside on a treadmill or track or outside on your own schedule, you can select the free VIRTUAL 5K option. You will complete your virtual 5k anytime during the month of January. We encourage you to share the race with your friends and family, and even post a picture during or after your virtual race on social media and upload your photos on this site.
