Prancer for Cancer | Holiday 5k to Benefit FACT Seneca County

Prancer for Cancer | Holiday 5k to Benefit FACT Seneca County takes place in Tiffin, Ohio, on November 14, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m. As the name states, the race is a holiday-themed fundraiser for FACT Seneca County, and it lands early enough in the season to be your first festive race of the year.

A charity 5K is often the easiest race to say yes to, whether you run every week or have not raced in years. If you want to run it hard, warm up for ten minutes, run the first mile a little slower than goal pace, and build through the second and third. If you are walking or run-walking, aim for a steady rhythm rather than bursts. Newer runners can be ready in six weeks with three sessions per week, gradually extending the running portions. Regular runners might fold it into a bigger training week as a tempo effort. Dress for the second mile: if you are comfortable standing at the start, you are probably wearing too much.
