Up, Up, and Away 5k

Get ready to lace up your sneakers for an exhilarating morning at the UP, UP & AWAY 5K! Hosted by Kent State University at Stark, this event, presented by OrthoUnited, invites the lithesome and the leisurely alike to race beneath the splendor of soaring hot air balloons. The run kicks off on Saturday, July 26, offering an experience that combines the thrill of competition with the picturesque campus vibe. But wait, there's more! Your little champs can join in the fun with our entirely FREE KIDS FUN RUN, designed for the under-8 crowd to have a blast and learn the joys of staying active. And for the pros and go-getters, we've got awards to snatch up across multiple categories. Remember, early registration is key to snagging that coveted finisher medal and ensuring your preferred t-shirt size. So, what are you waiting for? Come join us for a day of joyous strides and high-fives!
