Run to Jesus 5K
Run to Jesus 5K is an event held in Canton, Ohio, at Centennial Plaza and the nearby area around 132 5th St NW. The event is in its second year and presents a mix of running and walking options alongside family and youth activities.
The event program includes multiple course options:
- 5K Run Walk Roll
- 1 mile Family Walk Roll
- 0.5K Kids Fun Run Walk Roll
There are separate registrations and fees for each event: the adult 5K has a registration fee of $25, the student 5K fee is $15, the family 1 mile fee is $15, and the kids fun run is free. Live worship music will be performed at Centennial Plaza before, during, and after the races, featuring local artists and led by a representative of a local church.
An outdoor baptism opportunity is scheduled after the races for those who wish to participate. The event grew from a local initiative that began with a conversation in 2022 and was later featured in a local news segment. The overall focus described by organizers includes faith, diversity, and making the event accessible to people of varying abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
