The Shot Heard Around the World 5K
The Shot Heard Around the World 5K is scheduled for April 19, 2026 in Hebron, Ohio. The event follows the historic Ohio Canal on Canal Road and marks a local commemoration of the April 19, 1775 event and the county's 250 years of freedom. Participants may walk or run along the canal and are invited to wear colonial-style or patriotic clothing; prizes may be awarded for costume or performance.
The event offers two measured, chip-timed distances:
- 5K
- 1 Mile (does not include a t-shirt; a shirt can be added for $10)
Proceeds from the event benefit the Village of Hebron Community Enhancement Fund. Both distances use chip timing. The description emphasizes the historical theme and the canal-side setting as the primary features of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
