Humane Society of Erie County 5K Run/Walk: Run, Walk, Brew, Rescue

Humane Society of Erie County 5K Run/Walk: Run, Walk, Brew, Rescue takes place in Sandusky, Ohio, on April 3, 2027. There is one format, a 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 a.m. The event supports the Humane Society of Erie County, and the run/walk structure means the field covers a wide range of paces, from people racing it to people strolling the whole distance.

Charity 5Ks like this are among the friendliest places to run a first bib, because nobody minds where you finish and 3.1 miles is a distance most people can walk if the running does not go to plan. If you do want to race it, a few weeks of running three or four times a week with one faster session will make the difference, and a genuine warm-up before the 9:00 a.m. start matters more at 5K than at any longer distance. The single mid-morning gun also leaves the rest of the day free.
