Bascom Fire Bad Axe 5K

Ignite your summer running at the Paul Jones Memorial Bascom Fire Bad Axe 5K & Fun Run, set for Friday, July 10, 2026, in Tiffin, OH. This vibrant event, hosted at Meadowbrook Park (5430 West Tiffin Street, Bascom, OH), offers a spirited 5K Run/Walk along with a fun 1/2-mile Kids Fun Run. Runners can expect a "fast and flat" out-and-back course that winds through the picturesque park and campground, featuring both road and stone path sections. The race kicks off with a distinctive siren start at "the Lion" and promises "multiple water surprises" along the way, adding a unique and refreshing element to your race experience.

Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 86°F and lows around 63°F, with a slight 15% chance of precipitation, making those water surprises particularly welcome. While pushing for a personal best on this generally flat route, participants will also enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere, with awards presented to the top male and female finishers overall, as well as the top two in each age group. The Paul Jones Memorial Bascom Fire Bad Axe 5K is proudly sponsored by the Hopewell Loudon Athletic Boosters, fostering a strong sense of community and friendly competition for all ages.

Prepare for an exciting day of fitness and community spirit in Tiffin, where every stride supports local initiatives and creates unforgettable memories. Note that for the safety of all participants, pets and strollers are not permitted on the course.
