As it has since 2021, the 5K will take place at the Westerville Sports Complex, 325 N.

Proceeds of the race will benefit local veterans and first responders organizations. An Honor Guard presentation will start the event at 7:30 AM. Our traditional Kids Fun Run sprints will take place at 7:45 AM -- a change to BEFORE the 5K from past years. The Race course travels on paved multipurpose trails through the Sports Complex property, under Cleveland Avenue, along the Westerville Community Center property, down to Heritage Park, and back to the finish/start line at the Sports Complex, adjacent to the new Veterans Memorial Plaza. Participants in the 5K receive an event T-shirt, race medal and other goodies. Kids Fun Run participants receive a medal. The event is pre-registration only.
