Set against the picturesque backdrop of Armco Park in Lebanon, Ohio, the Warren County Armco parkrun offers a refreshing 5K experience on August 22, 2026. This free, weekly, volunteer-led event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to enjoy a scenic course winding through the park's 311 acres. Participants will navigate a varied route composed of permanent paths and trail sections, including loops around the beautiful 110-acre lake and a short green area near the start and finish. The course, described as two laps, provides a chance to immerse yourself in the park's natural beauty, though be prepared for potential mud, leaves, or puddles after rain.

Warren County Armco parkrun is more than just a timed 5K; it's a vibrant community gathering. Runners consistently praise its friendly and inclusive atmosphere, where giving way to other park users on shared paths is part of the experience. After crossing the finish line near the park's convenient parking, the camaraderie continues with an optional post-parkrun coffee at The Coffee Shop located at the nearby Otterbein Senior Life Center.

With typical race day conditions in late August bringing highs around 85F and lows around 63F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate warm and generally dry weather for this enjoyable morning event. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply seeking a pleasant walk in a beautiful setting, the Warren County Armco parkrun provides a welcoming and engaging opportunity to embrace outdoor activity and connect with the local running community.
