Women's Distance Festival 5K - Sylvania, OH
The Women's Distance Festival 5K is a women only event held at Fossil Park in Sylvania, Ohio on July 11, 2026. This is the 46th annual running of the local event and is part of a series created by the RRCA in 1980 to highlight differences in Olympic running events for men and women.
The program includes an individual 5K run/walk and a two-person Mother/Daughter team event. Teams are scored by combined times and there are two team award categories: mother and adult daughter, and mother and minor daughter (under age 18). Participants must choose to enter as an individual or as part of a team when registering.
Registration opens May 10, 2026 and closes July 9, 2026. The listed registration fee is $12.00. Toledo Roadrunners Running Club members receive a registration discount when they join during registration.
All entrants receive a goodie bag that includes a cosmetic bag and a matching compact mirror with an inspirational message. Awards include first overall and master runner, top three in age groups, top three teams in each mother/daughter category, and youngest and oldest finisher awards. The first 10 women to finish wearing a dress or skirt receive special prizes. All entrants are entered into a raffle drawing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
