Run to the Moon 10k

Event details

Run to the Moon is a community running event held in July in Wapakoneta, Ohio, with the start and finish on the grounds of the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. The event includes in-person and virtual options and offers the following distances:

• 10K
• 5K
• 1 Mile
• Virtual Run

Each run has a $35 registration fee. In-person participants receive a bib, medal, and t-shirt. Virtual participants receive a bib, medal, and t-shirt in their packet; packets are available for pickup and, if shipping was purchased, are mailed beginning the Monday after the race. The event organizer provides medals at the finish line for actual race participants. The advertised 2025 medal includes a revolving centerpiece guaranteed for the first 525 runners.

Logistics and race policies

The event is organized by the United Way of Auglaize County and proceeds support the local campaign and partner agencies. The course has Space Facts signage and volunteer and law enforcement traffic control, but roads are under a soft closure and runners should remain alert for vehicles. Packet pickup is available at a local diner before race day and at the museum on race morning. Participants may transfer their registration to a different distance or to the virtual event online with no change fee. Age group awards are offered for the in-person 5K and 10K. Parking is limited on museum grounds; specific nearby lots are restricted and a large grass lot south of Lowe’s is noted for parking.
