5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Willard

The Tiffin Zombie Run is a Halloween-season 5K run/walk in Tiffin, Ohio. A 1-mile walk is available for those seeking a shorter option. Participants wear sashes, and zombies positioned along the course attempt to remove them before the finish line. The event welcomes all ages, functioning more as a community costume event than a competitive 5K. The race features separate starts for zombies, the 5K, and the 1-mile walk, concluding with refreshments and an awards ceremony. Awards are given to top finishers by age and gender, plus a best costume prize. Proceeds benefit CASA of Seneca, Sandusky, and Wyandot Counties, supporting the training of local volunteers who advocate in court for abused and neglected children.

Der Mansfield and Lexington Turkey Trot startet und endet auf dem historischen B&O Railway Trail, direkt hinter der Heartland Church in Lexington, Ohio. Diese Laufserie am Thanksgiving Day bietet einen Kids Fun Run, gefolgt vom Half Marathon, 10K und 5K. Es werden auch virtuelle Optionen für 5K, 10K und Half Marathon angeboten, sodass du teilnehmen kannst, ohne vor Ort auf der Strecke in Ohio zu sein. Die Rennen vor Ort haben eine Chip-Zeitnahme, sodass alle Finisher ihre Ergebnisse sofort sehen. Die Strecke nutzt den Railway Trail als Wendepunktstrecke, mit nur einem Start- und Zielbereich. Das Event hat ein Feiertagsmotto: Du kannst zwischen Truthahn-, Elfen- oder Weihnachtsmannmützen (ungefähr 20 verschiedene Optionen), einem Tutu, einem Langarmshirt oder einem optionalen „Burning Thighs Before Pies“ Hoodie wählen. Alle Angemeldeten bekommen eine personalisierte Startnummer, eine Finisher-Medaille, Snacks, Erfrischungen und ein Dessert wie einen kleinen Kuchen, Donut oder Keks. Kinderwagen sind auf der Strecke erlaubt, Hunde aber nicht. Sie dürfen sich aber im Start- und Zielbereich aufhalten.

The Turkey-Wanis 5K is a Thanksgiving morning 5K in Wellington, Ohio, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Wellington. It is open as a race or walk, suitable for runners seeking a quick holiday effort and individuals preferring a shorter community event before the day's activities. The route crosses residential Wellington on a flat, fast, accurate course. The event, formerly the Thrive Turkey 5, gives awards to age-group runners and the top male and female finishers. It includes a small Thanksgiving tradition: every registrant is entered into a Pumpkin Pie raffle. Free parking is available at the stadium.

The Dukes 5K & Fun Run begins on the Wellington High School track in Wellington, Ohio. The 5K route starts from the stadium and concludes on the same track. This event features a timed 5K race and a 1-mile Fun Run. Gates open at 8:00 AM, with the 5K commencing at 9:00 AM. This marks the sixth year of the fundraiser for the Wellington High School Track and Field team, held regardless of weather conditions. The 5K course exits the stadium, circles the town, and returns to the track. The Fun Run, however, remains within the stadium, consisting of four laps around the track after the 5K participants have departed. The theme for this year is Heroes and Villains, inviting participants to wear costumes of their favorite heroes or villains. All participants will receive a themed finisher T-shirt and a custom Dukes 5K medal. Awards will be presented to the top male and female finishers overall, as well as to winners in various age groups ranging from 13-and-under to 60-and-up.
