5K preteky v blízkosti Fostoria

Muddy Creek 5k a Youth 1k Race sa beží v Creek Bend Farm-Wilson Nature Center v Lindsey, Ohio. Organizuje to Sandusky County Park District a majú tam 5K pre tých, čo si chcú dať celú trailovú vzdialenosť, a 1K pre deti. Prihlásiť sa dá aj v deň pretekov priamo v priestoroch stodoly. 5K štartuje o desiatej ráno, detské preteky potom okolo jedenástej doobeda. Trasa 5K ide po PK 5K Trail, ktorý je pomenovaný na počesť miestnej bežkyne Pam Graver-Koenig. Štartovné je $20 za 5K a $8 za detský beh, keď sa prihlásiš online. Všetky vyzbierané peniaze idú na podporu Sandusky County Park District. Kto sa prihlási vopred, dostane soft-style tričko a pamätnú stuhu. Tričká pre tých, čo sa prihlásia v deň pretekov, sú len do vyčerpania zásob. Preteky sa idú za každého počasia, ale na trati sú zakázané domáce zvieratá a organizátori si vyhradzujú právo zrušiť to, ak by boli podmienky nebezpečné.

The Night of the Dead Mud Run is a nighttime 5K mud run in Oak Harbor, Ohio, taking place two weeks before Halloween. Runners begin at 7870 OH-163 and proceed along a lit course featuring over 20 obstacles, eerie displays, and unexpected elements. While not an official chip-timed event, participants can still view their overall finish time. The event, also known as Black Swamp Runner, caters to a broad spectrum of runners, not exclusively obstacle-race experts. Numerous obstacles offer two paths: a simpler challenge and a more difficult Xtreme option. Registration provides a T-shirt, wristband, and medal. Early participants have the option to pay a nominal fee for a second run through the course, earning a distinct wristband. The organizer also conducts giveaways and raffles, with ten percent of the funds raised benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities.

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.

Ghost and Goblin 5K sú halloweenske preteky, ktoré sa idú vo Williams Park v Gibsonburg, Ohio. Päťka štartuje o 10:00, ale predtým je ešte 1-mile fun run, ktorý začína o 9:30. Celé to organizuje Sandusky County Job and Family Services a ráno bude výdaj štartových balíčkov, potom program pre deti a rodiny a nakoniec ten hlavný 5K. Ten fun run je celý v halloweenskom duchu, takže sa tam podporujú kostýmy a bude aj trick-or-treating. Výťažok z akcie ide na The Child Abuse Prevention/Domestic Violence Awareness Committee a prispieť môžu aj tí, čo nebežia. Ocenenia sú pre najlepších vo vekových kategóriách a tá 1-mile vzdialenosť je super možnosť pre mladších účastníkov a chodcov, ako sa zapojiť do programu dňa.

The Findlay Beer Chase 5K is a timed 5K in Findlay, Ohio, starting and finishing at Findlay Brewing Co. The race centers on a chase: run the 5K and try to beat the “beer” to the finish. Registration includes timing, a race shirt (while supplies last), and a pint voucher for runners 21 and older. The event also features a Super Hero Kids Dash and a volunteer 5K supporting the Braden Kramer Foundation. The course runs through the area surrounding the brewery, with East Crawford Street closed during the event. Finishers who beat the “beer” are entered into a drawing for gift cards from Dave’s Running and Findlay Brewing; the winner must be present. Race day also marks the tapping of Saazam!, a SMaSH beer brewed with local malt and hops. It has a light golden color, mild malt sweetness, balanced bitterness, and a “Wild American” hop profile. Proceeds benefit the Braden Kramer Foundation, supporting community members affected by pediatric cancer.
