Millersburg Food Run 5K/10K & 1 mile

The Millersburg Food Run 10K, 5K & 1-mile is the Millersburg Seventh-day Adventist Church’s contribution to help meet the needs of Holmes County families.  All proceeds from the race will be donated to the Love Center.  Since the race started in 2018 it has raised a cumulative $17,560 for the Love Center!  Help us continue the good work in 2024.  The race is scheduled for Sunday July 28, 2024. 

The Love Center Food Pantry has been servicing the needs of Holmes County since 1986.  Nearly 1000 families utilize the food pantry and it has processed over 660,000 lbs of food a year.   The food pantry has been seeing an increase in the number of clients due to inflation.  This Christian ministry is supported by businesses and congregations throughout Holmes County.

There will be competitive 5K and 10K courses and a noncompetitive 1 mile course.  Runners, joggers, and walkers are all welcome. The race is on a flat, paved Rails-to-Trails path (former train track) starting at Hipp Station near historic downtown Millersburg, OH.  The racecourse runs through wooded areas and farm fields.  You will sometimes see deer and wild life along the way.  You may even see a bald eagle!  Amish buggies and cyclists regularly use this trail; be prepared to share the space.  

All participants will receive a medal, goodie bag, and a ticket for prize drawing of gifts/gift baskets.  T-shirts will be on a first-come first-serve basis for registrations after July 1.   Drawing for the gift baskets will be done after the race has started, so participants can check to see if they’ve won when they return to the finish line.  There will be a beverage and snack table available for the participants after the race.
