LifeWise 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run / Adult Walk

LifeWise 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run / Adult Walk takes place in Oregon, Ohio, on October 24, 2026, with both events starting at 8:30 a.m. The schedule keeps things simple: a 5K run for anyone who wants a timed effort on the roads, and a 1-mile kids run and adult walk for younger runners, families and anyone who would rather cover a shorter distance at a comfortable pace.

A 5K like this one is a good place to test where your fitness stands without committing to a long training block. If you already run a few times a week, six weeks of steady mileage plus one weekly session of short intervals is usually enough to sharpen up. Complete beginners can treat the mile as their goal instead and build toward the 5K later on. With everyone off at the same time, expect a mixed field of runners and walkers, so line up according to your pace and give yourself room over the first quarter mile.
