Corridas de 5K perto de Piqua

The Run For Your Life 5k Series - The City Collapsed is a 5k road race in Fairborn, Ohio, held on a fall Saturday with a zombie-apocalypse theme. Participants start as Survivors, wearing flag football belts. The race challenges runners not just to finish the distance, but also to protect their flags from being captured, which would mark them as infected. Zombies have a distinct role: they remain within designated infected zones rather than completing the full course. Their objective is to remove flags from approaching Survivors. This event is modest in scale, anticipating 1 to 100 participants. It emphasizes costumes, imaginative zombie makeup, speed, rapid decision-making, and composure under duress.

Run For Your Life is a charity 5k and 10k fun run/walk held at the PNWU campus in Yakima, Washington, starting and finishing on campus. Organized by PNWU students, the race is combined with a health fair, making the morning suitable for runners, walkers, families, and local residents, not just competitive racers. Check-in is in the morning before a 9:30 start, with participants selecting either the 5k or 10k route.

The Ezra J. Hartke Race for Hope is an annual November fundraiser offering 5K and 10K races. Named for Ezra J. Hartke, it supports childhood cancer research and care, having raised over $133,000 to date. The event is presented by The Barry & Denise Johnson Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and providing support for childhood cancer. Funds from the inaugural race generated $18,000 for Dayton Children's Hospital research into brain tumors. This research included studying how tumor cells resist treatment and how a steroid medication affects stem cells within a tumor. That initial donation contributed to launching a larger project focused on targeting specific cell types in brain tumors to improve therapy effectiveness.

The Raptor Run 5K is a morning run or walk on the park trails of Shawnee Prairie Preserve, starting and finishing near the Nature Center.

Refreshments, awards, and door prizes follow the finish.

The ORRRC Turkey Hunt Map & Compass Challenge is an orienteering race at George Rogers Clark Park. It begins in the afternoon and has a two-hour time limit. Participants use a detailed map and compass to navigate, selecting their own routes to find as many control points as possible before returning to the finish. The strategy is key, as controls can be visited in any order. Each control is worth five points, with a one-point penalty for each minute past the time limit. Registration is available before the race. Newcomers can take a practice course and attend an introductory session offered by the Miami Valley Orienteering Club. Awards are presented to the top 50 finishers, making the event suitable for fast competitors, precise navigators, and those new to orienteering.

The route runs in and around West Liberty, following a path similar to the old Luminary Route, but it avoids Route 68. Runners can register on race morning. Awards are presented afterward at The Grove. Early registrants receive a race medal; medals for late sign-ups are available based on supply. Proceeds benefit the West Liberty Business Association, the nonprofit organization responsible for the village Christmas celebration and other local events.
