About the Event

Join us for the 10th Annual Strides for Life 5K to strengthen support, education and recognition of organ, eye and tissue donation in west central Ohio. We aim to stomp out the waiting list one stride at a time, and we honor those who gave the gift of life every step of the way.

The event, hosted by Life Connection of Ohio, Solvita and Lions Eye Bank of West Central Ohio, will feature an in-person 5K run/walk, a virtual 5K run/walk and a Kids' Fun Run.

Awards: Overall male and female plus the top 3 males/females in each category: 9 and under, 10-14,15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 and 80 plus.

This year’s giveaway for the 5K and Virtual 5K is a Port and Company fleece crewneck sweatshirt and a finisher dog tag. There will also be a giveaway for the Kids' Fun Run.

Packet pickup will be Wednesday, April 22, and Thursday, April 23, from 10 AM – 2 PM and 4 PM – 7 PM at Life Connection of Ohio (2800 Donation Circle, Kettering, OH 45420).

About Kettering

Learn more about the host city, Kettering.

Kettering is a town of 60,749 people in north Northamptonshire. Kettering owes much of its heritage and growth to the arrival of the railway during the mid-1800s. Today the town is again rapidly expanding, this time as a result of the A14, which connects the M1 with several ports on the east coast. Many new housing developments and large industrial estates can be found on the outskirts of the town. Kettering is home of Weetabix's UK breakfast cereal production.
