Point 5K (only 1,640 feet) to benefit Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley

Lace up your shoes for the uniquely delightful Point 5K on Saturday, July 11, 2026, held at the picturesque White House Fruit Farm in Canfield, Ohio. Unlike traditional races, this "Point 5K" covers a super-manageable 1,640 feet (just over half a kilometer), making it a perfect, lighthearted walk or run for all ages and fitness levels. The scenic course winds around a beautiful pond and through the farm's grounds, offering a charming backdrop for your efforts. Typical race day conditions in July bring comfortable highs around 83°F and lows near 59°F, with a modest 18% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for a morning out.

What truly sets the Point 5K apart is its unwavering focus on fun and philanthropy. This non-competitive event isn't timed, encouraging participants to simply enjoy the experience. You'll find unique twists along the route, including a complimentary donut stop at the halfway point to refuel and a fun selfie station to capture memories. The entire family is welcome, with kids 10 and under participating for free. Parking is conveniently available and free on-site, and the grassy route is largely accessible for strollers and wheelchairs when conditions are dry.

More than just a run, the Point 5K serves a vital purpose: benefiting the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley. Your participation directly supports the mission in providing meals, shelter, and hope to hundreds of men, women, and children in need every night. This annual event has a history of bringing the community together for a great cause, having previously attracted hundreds of participants and raising significant funds. Join fellow runners and walkers for a memorable morning of community spirit, farm fun, and impactful giving.
