Snowball Dine-n-Dash
Saturday, February 6, 2021, 9:00 a.m. at 5939 St. Rt. 109 in Delta, Ohio. Join the local running community for a non-scored training run with multiple distances for the upcoming spring marathons and half marathons. Dave’s MIT coaches will be on hand to lead multiple long run paces, so you can choose which pace you want to run for the event. What is different about this run? The Mason family of Dave’s Running Shops will be providing a breakfast to rival that of any king’s feast!
If breakfast isn’t your style after a run, you can still show up and run with others at no charge. Come on out and get your long run in with company as runners prepare for the Glass City Marathon. Just register for the free event, and you will be set to go.
There will be a 5-mile marked course that has a one-mile inner loop, so mileage can be negotiable for you to decide when you want to call it quits.
Hot Cocoa 10K/5K Run, 1-Mile Run or Walk
Saturday, February 20-Sunday, February 28, 2021 at Olander Park, 6930 W. Sylvania Ave. in Sylvania, Ohio. A great family event that will help chase away the winter blues! Our Hot Cocoa 10K/5K/1Mile Race is being held in partnership with Olander Park. The race starts at 9:00 a.m. and there will be multiple corrals for a safe start. We are adding a10K for this year.
The 1 Mile Race will be around Olander Park. The 10K and 5K Race will start at the Nederhouser Community Building, run north on the trail, exit out north to the neighborhood, and then circle back and finish in Olander Park. (Course direction is subject to change.)
Proceeds will go to youth programs for promoting positive, healthy lifestyle choices and the prevention of drug and alcohol use and other at-risk behaviors in our community. SCAT provides programs that offer guidance and education and sponsors positive events that develop leadership and team-building skills.
Hot cocoa will be provided in your race packet so that we can promote social distancing and avoid congregating at the finish line. Grab-and-go snacks will be available at the race finish.
In accordance with the Lucas County Health Department, we will not be giving awards at the conclusion of the race this year to accommodate social distancing. We will, however, be giving out those prizes as door prizes, which will be listed at packet pickup (Thursday, February 18 from 4:00-6:30 p.m., and Friday from 4:00-6:30 pm at Dave’s Running Shop, 5700 Monroe St., Sylvania, Ohio. There will be no race day packet pickup). Everyone is eligible to win one of the prizes.
