4th Annual Live. Love. Thrive. RUN! 5K Run & 2.5K Walk

About the Event

Join Us for the 4th Annual Live. Love. Thrive. 5K Run & 2.5K Walk!

Make this Labor Day truly meaningful by participating in the Live. Love. Thrive. 5K Run & 2.5 Walk on Monday, September 7th at the stunning Munroe Falls Metro Park! Our 5K chip timed run will start at 9:15am while the 2.5K untimed walk will begin at 8:30am.

Hosted by Linc Worldwide, a Stow, Ohio-based nonprofit, this event helps us raise crucial funds for our new faith-based school in Kenya, providing orphaned and impoverished children with food, water, access to medical care and a strong education.

Choose between our 5K Run or 2.5K Walk, perfect for all ages and abilities. Can't join in person? Register as a virtual participant and support the cause from anywhere!

Enjoy a fun, family-friendly atmosphere as you make your way around the park’s scenic, tree-lined lake—all while making a lasting impact on young lives.
