2026 Women's 6k Festival
The 2026 Women's 6k Festival takes place in Canton, Ohio at Downtown Centennial Plaza on July 11, 2026. The main community program features a USATF sanctioned elite championship plus an open women's and girls 6K run and walk. The course is described by the organizer as fast and uses a 6K layout.
Event divisions include an Elite Women's 6 km Championship with invited athletes and required entry standards. The stated qualifying benchmarks are a 5K time of 15:35 for "A" standard entry and 16:25 for "B" standard entry. There is also an open community run and a walking division restricted to women.
A virtual 6K run/walk option is available to men and women; virtual entries receive a t-shirt, finisher medal, and bib by mail and are not eligible for overall or age-group placement awards. A Pink Division 6K run/walk is designated for breast cancer survivors. A Little Ladies Loop is offered for ages 0 to 10 on a secure 0.6 km loop at the finish area; parents may run free with registered children.
Post-race activities include a finishers festival with music, an emcee, women-owned vendors, and separate award ceremonies for USATF and open divisions. Awards are planned for top overall, masters, grand masters, division podiums, and age groups with specified recognition rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
