ORRRC Englewood 5k

RACE START TIME: 7:00 p.m.

WHERE: Englewood Metropark West Park – 100 E. National Rd., Englewood, OH 45322

PARKING: 

From either east or west, take I-70 to the State Route 48 exit and head north on Route 48 into Englewood.  DO NOT CROSS DAM. Race is on the west side of the park! Use entrance ER-5 at the intersection of National Road (US 40) and Main Street (US 48) in downtown Englewood.   Follow the park road to the parking lot. We will be using Lawmill Shelter.

COURSE: Out and back on the bike path.  First .5 mile is mostly a fast downhill… meaning the last .5 mile is “slightly” uphill, just kidding, it’s a real climb. Click for map

REGISTRATION: Registration is available to all through RunSignup prior to the race.  Online registration remains open until approximately 15 minutes before race start and can be done in-person at the race.  Hard copy registration sheets are also available on race day if needed. Minors may be registered on RunSignup by a parent or guardian or in-person with a parent or guardian present to sign the waiver.

CHECK-IN: All participants must check-in before the race and attach their assigned timing chip to one of their shoes.  Look for the table with the green tablecloth to get your chip.  

We recommend you arrive at least one hour before the race to park, check in, and warm-up prior to the race start.

VOLUNTEERS: Meet some new friends and have a great time while making a valuable contribution to the local running community by volunteering at this event. If you would like to help, please sign up on the volunteer tab, and we’ll be sure to find a job for you!

If you're not familiar with the Ohio River Road Runners Club, we're a 100% all-volunteer 501(c)(3) Ohio Non-Profit club dedicated to promoting running and supporting the local running community in and around Dayton, Ohio. We are one of the largest (and we think BEST) clubs in the nation.

This is one of our "small races", meaning it is free for ORRRC members, free for anyone 14 and under, and only $10 for everyone else.  If you're not a member, you'll have the option to join when you register - for only $35 per year, you get 20+ races from 1 mile to half marathon distances, on roads and trails, included!

What can you expect from an ORRRC "small race"?  A great team of volunteers, most of whom are runners, committed to providing a high-quality event with well-designed courses and support for runners and walkers of all abilities.  There won't be shirts or finisher medals, but for $10, you'll get a chip-timed finish (from our all-volunteer timers!), refreshments, maybe a small age group award depending on your finish, and a chance to challenge yourself or meet others in the Dayton running community.  We hope you'll join us and have some fun!
