Millersburg Food Run

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Millersburg Food Run, set for Sunday, July 26, 2026, in the charming town of Millersburg, Ohio. This community-focused event offers distances for every runner and walker, including competitive 10K and 5K races, alongside a non-competitive 1-mile run/walk and a Kids 1 Mile. The scenic course unfolds on a flat, paved Rails-to-Trails path, beginning at the historic Hipp Station Depot near downtown Millersburg. Runners will journey through picturesque wooded areas and expansive farm fields, with the unique opportunity to spot local wildlife such as deer and even bald eagles. Be prepared to share this tranquil path with Amish buggies and cyclists, adding to the distinctive charm of your race experience.

Beyond the scenic route, the Millersburg Food Run stands out for its impactful mission. Hosted by the Millersburg Seventh-day Adventist Church since 2018, all proceeds directly benefit the Love Center Food Pantry, a vital resource that has been addressing food insecurity in Holmes County since 1986. Participants consistently praise the race for its welcoming atmosphere, generous goodie bags, event medals, and exciting prize drawings from local businesses, reflecting a strong community spirit. Typical race day conditions in late July see highs around 84°F and lows near 61°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, making for potentially warm but generally pleasant running weather.

After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment and contribution with refreshing snacks and drinks available for all participants. The Millersburg Food Run is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful course, experience the heart of Amish Country, and make a tangible difference in the lives of Holmes County families.
