Discover the Warren County Armco parkrun, a vibrant weekly 5K event inviting runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to experience the scenic beauty of Lebanon, OH. Taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, this free, volunteer-led community gathering offers a welcoming atmosphere for both seasoned athletes and those new to running. The course itself is a picturesque 5K loop within Warren County Armco Park, featuring a blend of permanent asphalt paths and engaging trail sections. Participants will navigate two laps, including a stretch along a dead-end road, a dedicated trail, and a beautiful route alongside the lake, with a short grassy section near the start and finish. Expect varied terrain, as the park is nestled among rolling hills, and some trail sections may accumulate mud, leaves, or puddles after rain.

Warren County Armco parkrun prides itself on fostering a friendly and inclusive environment, regularly drawing a diverse group of participants and volunteers. After crossing the finish line, the community spirit continues with an optional post-parkrun coffee gathering at The Coffee Shop, located at the Otterbein Senior Life Center. Typical race day conditions in late February see highs around 46°F and lows around 28°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, offering a crisp, invigorating start to your weekend. While there are no formal aid stations on the course, the emphasis is on self-support and enjoying the natural surroundings of this historic park, which also boasts a 110-acre lake and extensive hiking trails.

With its starting line near the baseball diamond's parking area on the park's north side, Warren County Armco parkrun provides an accessible and enjoyable 5K experience. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply looking to enjoy a refreshing walk or run outdoors, this event offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with the local running community in the heart of Warren County.
