Run4Home 5K and Kid’s Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes for the Run4Home 5K and Kid’s Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in scenic Lebanon, Ohio. This community-focused event at Armco Park offers a picturesque 3.1-mile (5K) course, winding through a beautiful, shaded park atmosphere that is suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities. The terrain is described as level to rolling, promising an enjoyable and accessible experience for everyone. For the younger athletes, a lively 400-meter (1/4 mile) Kid’s Fun Run is also on offer, ensuring a memorable day for the entire family.

The 5K race kicks off at 8:30 AM, with the Kid’s Fun Run following at 9:30 AM, and gates opening at 7:00 AM for early arrivals. Runners can expect water stations at the halfway point and the finish line to stay hydrated. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 86°F and lows around 65°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but often manageable summer run. Beyond the course, participants will be treated to a delicious post-race buffet featuring fruit, yogurt, bagels, and more. This professionally chip-timed event also celebrates achievements with awards for overall male/female finishers and the top two in each age category.

What truly sets the Run4Home apart is its dedication to a vital cause: all proceeds directly benefit the programs of Family Promise of Warren County, supporting families in need. This long-standing event, held annually in Lebanon's Armco Park at Shelter 33, has garnered a reputation for its well-organized atmosphere and commitment to community support.
