Lace up for a cause and experience the charm of Ohio's Amish Country at the Ohio MCC Run 4 Relief 5K on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in Millersburg. This inspiring event, featuring both a 5K and a 1K fun run, takes you through the picturesque landscape of Holmes County, winding past family farms and an Amish school, offering a truly unique scenic backdrop for your run. While the course provides lovely views, past participants have noted some challenging inclines, adding a rewarding element to the experience.

More than just a race, the Ohio MCC Run 4 Relief is a powerful fundraiser for the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), with proceeds from the 2026 event dedicated to helping families globally purchase pigs to improve their income and livelihoods. The early morning start, with the 1K kicking off at 7:30 AM and the 5K at 8:00 AM, offers a refreshing way to begin your Saturday. Typical race day conditions in mid-July include highs around 84°F and lows around 61°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating a good environment for an active morning. Gatorade and water will be available on the course, and participants are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles for a sustainable event.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the timed 5K or enjoying a leisurely stroll with family in the untimed 1K, every participant will receive a commemorative race t-shirt. The top six overall 5K finishers, along with age category award winners, will also be recognized. Both races begin and end on the west side of the Mt. Hope Event Center on Twp. Road 362, where registration opens an hour before the first race. Join a community united by a love for running and a commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
