Angel Run

Lace up for a truly heartfelt experience at the Angel Run 5K on Sunday, July 26, 2026, in North Star, Ohio. This annual event, now in its 29th year, offers runners a chance to honor lost loved ones on a flat, scenic course that starts and finishes at the North Star Park, east of town. Known for its deeply meaningful atmosphere, participants can submit photos of those they wish to remember, which are then placed along the route, transforming each mile into a moving tribute.

The Angel Run boasts a reputation for community spirit, regularly attracting over 400 runners. As you navigate the "down and back" course, you'll find water stops strategically placed, and mile times are provided to help you gauge your pace. Beyond the personal significance, your participation supports a vital cause; proceeds contribute to a $1,000 Angel Run Scholarship and benefit the North Star Fire Department and North Star American Legion.

Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 84F and lows near 64F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, providing generally favorable weather for a rewarding 5K. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply seeking a meaningful way to spend a summer morning, the Angel Run offers a unique blend of community, remembrance, and fitness. A fun run for children also ensures a family-friendly event for all ages.
