Ohio Mennonite Central Committee Run 4 Relief 1k & 5k Race

Lace up your running shoes for a meaningful stride at the Ohio Mennonite Central Committee Run 4 Relief 1k & 5k Race, taking place on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in the picturesque Holmes County countryside of Millersburg, OH. This inspiring event offers both a timed 5K and an untimed 1K Fun Run, welcoming runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to the scenic setting on the west side of the Mt. Hope Event Center.

Runners will enjoy an early morning in lovely Holmes County, with the 1K kicking off at 7:30 AM and the 5K following at 8:00 AM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles, though Gatorade and water will be readily available at the event to keep you hydrated. Typically, race day conditions in mid-July feature highs around 84°F and lows around 61°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, providing a warm but potentially pleasant morning for a run. Beyond the personal challenge, this race carries a unique purpose: all proceeds benefit the Mennonite Central Committee, assisting families worldwide by helping them purchase pigs to improve their income.

Every participant will receive a commemorative race t-shirt. While the 1K Fun Run is purely for enjoyment, the 5K offers a competitive edge with awards for the top six overall finishers and age group winners. Discover a race that not only offers a refreshing morning run but also leaves a lasting, positive impact on communities in need.
