Christmas in July 5k, 1 Miler & Kids Fun Run hosted by Worthington Connects
About this race
Join us for the 3rd Annual Christmas in July 5K, now an evening run, along with a 1 Miler and Kids Run. A fun, festive event benefiting Worthington Connects, a nonprofit dedicated to providing year round support to Worthington students and families facing financial hardship.
This family-friendly event is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of community. Runners, walkers, and spectators can enjoy a lively Christmas in July atmosphere, featuring local business sponsors with vendor tables, delicious food trucks, and plenty of holiday cheer in the summer evening.
Proceeds from registration and fundraising efforts directly support Worthington Connects, helping provide essential resources to families not only during the holidays, but throughout the entire year.
Whether you’re tackling the 5K, joining the 1 Miler, cheering on your little runners, or supporting from the sidelines, your participation helps bring hope, joy, and meaningful support to those who need it most. Be sure to stick around after the race to explore sponsor booths, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the festivities.
Participants will have the chance to win prizes generously donated by local businesses, adding even more excitement to the evening.
Let’s come together as a community to support Worthington families. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
