Point 5K (only 1,640 feet) to benefit Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley 2026

The Point 5K in Canfield, USA, is a 0.5K run/walk fundraiser for the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. The entire route measures 1,640 feet, so the joke is in the name: this is not a typo, and it is intentionally much shorter than a standard 5K. It begins at 10:00 AM and maintains a low entry fee of $5 per person, welcoming families, children, walkers, and casual participants. The event collects funds for the mission’s annual fund, supporting a shelter that houses up to 186 men, women, and children nightly and serves meals to hundreds. The course is brief enough to feel like a community walk rather than a competition, and the planned halfway donut stop emphasizes that the day prioritizes enjoyment over pace. T-shirts are also a part of the event’s tradition, with preorder information provided when the design is finalized.
