Lace up for an exciting evening at the inaugural Hollywood Casino 5K in Toledo, Ohio, on Friday, June 12, 2026. This unique 5K road race promises an experience unlike any other, beginning and ending right at the Hollywood Casino at 1968 Miami Street. The course boasts a remarkably flat profile with a minimal 15-foot elevation gain, making it an ideal opportunity for runners aiming for a personal best or those simply looking for a fun, accessible run.

This 21-and-over event kicks off at 7:30 PM EDT, offering runners a lively atmosphere as the sun begins to set. Typical race day conditions in early June see comfortable highs around 80°F and lows near 61°F, with a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant running weather. Beyond the race itself, the Hollywood Casino 5K transforms into an ultimate post-race celebration. Participants are invited to a vibrant parking lot party featuring live music, delicious food, and refreshing beverages.

Every runner will receive a stylish event shirt and a custom finisher medal to commemorate their achievement. What truly sets this event apart is the opportunity to redeem your race bib for PENN Slot Play inside the Hollywood Casino, extending the fun beyond the finish line. The race also proudly supports the Zepf Center, contributing to their free and confidential gambling treatment program for Ohio residents.
