Community Impact 5K Run/Walk

Community Impact 5K Run/Walk takes place in Marysville, Ohio, on November 14, 2026. A single 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk starts at 10:00 a.m., which keeps the morning simple: one distance, one start, and runners and walkers on the same course.

For a beginner, 3.1 miles is the classic first target, and eight weeks of alternating running and walking three times a week is usually enough to cover it without stopping. Experienced runners can use a late-season 5K as a fitness check before winter training begins. Either way, run the first half a little slower than feels right; almost everyone goes out too fast over this distance and pays for it in the final mile.
