Run to the Moon 5K/10K and 1-Mile Fun Run
Run to the Moon is a series of in-person and virtual running events held on July 18, 2026, at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio, the boyhood home of Neil Armstrong. The events offer multiple distance options and feature space-related elements along the courses.
Distances include:
- 10K run (in-person)
- 5K run (in-person and virtual option)
- 1 Mile Bling Run (in-person)
The event includes a NASA astronaut involved in the start and finish, Space Facts displayed along the courses, and race amenities such as a space-themed medal, T-shirt, and Moon Pies. Runners may manage their registered distance themselves through the registration confirmation email; transfers that shorten distance from the 10K to the 5K or 1 Mile are allowed with no change fee.
Registration opens March 15, 2026. The standard registration fee is $30 until April 30, 2026, and the fee increases to $35 on May 1, 2026.
The Run to the Moon is organized by the United Way of Auglaize County. Proceeds will benefit the United Way of Auglaize County's 2025 campaign and partner agencies. The event takes place on the grounds of the Armstrong Air and Space Museum but does not financially benefit the museum's operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
