Lace up your shoes for the Sippo Lake parkrun, a free, weekly 5K community event set amidst the natural beauty of Canton, Ohio. On Saturday, February 28, 2026, runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to experience a scenic and welcoming course. The accurately measured 5000m route at Sippo Lake Park (North) features a dynamic blend of crushed limestone paths and natural surface trails, offering picturesque views of the 100-acre Sippo Lake and leading participants through wetlands and past the Wildlife Conservation Center. While some sections may be muddy or covered in leaves after rain, the course offers an engaging challenge.

Sippo Lake parkrun launched in 2019 as the second parkrun event in Ohio, quickly establishing a reputation for its friendly and supportive atmosphere, fostered by a dedicated team of volunteers. The event prioritizes community, welcoming families and even four-legged companions on a short leash. Restrooms are conveniently located near the start/finish area and along the course at the 1 and 1.5-mile marks. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in late February with highs around 42°F and lows near 24°F, and a 14% chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and invigorating running environment. After crossing the finish line near the Exploration Gateway, the camaraderie continues with a post-parkrun coffee social, inviting participants to connect and share their experiences.
