LifeWise L-B Family 5K Trail Run/Walk

Lace up your trail shoes for the LifeWise L-B Family 5K Trail Run/Walk, set for Saturday, May 30, 2026, in Findlay, Ohio. This engaging event offers both a 5K Trail Run/Walk and a 1 Mile Kids Fun Run, providing an active outing for the whole family. Starting at Gateway Church, participants will navigate a scenic trail route around the Gateway and Liberty-Benton campuses, with the Kids Fun Run taking place entirely on the Gateway campus. Be prepared for typical trail conditions, as the route could feature mud and water, adding an exciting challenge to your run or walk.

This race is more than just a physical challenge; it's a community event with a meaningful purpose. The LifeWise L-B Family 5K serves as a vital fundraiser for LifeWise Liberty-Benton, supporting their mission to provide impactful Bible education classes to local kindergarten through third-grade students. Adding to the unique family-friendly atmosphere, pets are welcome to join the 5K, though owners are asked to clean up after them. Typical race day conditions in late May in Findlay often see comfortable highs around 77°F and lows around 57°F, with a relatively low 18% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather.

The event ensures a rewarding experience for all participants. The 5K is a timed race with awards presented to the first-place male and female finishers across various age categories, including those 11 and under, up to 60+. Younger runners in the 1 Mile Kids Fun Run (ages 12 and under) will be celebrated with awards for the top 20 finishers, receiving Dietsch's ice cream coupons, and all participants will earn a special medal. Join in to support a great cause and enjoy a memorable day on the trails.
