About United Way of Fairfield County Annual 5K Run
The 5K event starts at 8:30 AM
Since 1997, the United Way 5K Run/Walk has been a community favorite.
This event brings several hundred participants annually to the Fairfield County Fairgrounds in Lancaster. It's a closed 5K course. Cash prizes are awarded to the first, second, and third-place male and female finishers for the 5K.
Our traveling Participation Trophy has become very popular with local businesses. Trophies are awarded to the company with the largest number of participants (either walk or run) based on company size. It's a great opportunity to bring people together.
This year, United Way of Fairfield County will also be hosting a Food Drive for our Weekend Backpack program and will be asking for donations of granola bars, trail mix, cereals, fruits, and applesauce.
