Just a Pair of Shoes Run/Walk 5K to Empower Kids

Come join us on Saturday, May 9th 2026 for Just a Pair of Shoes' 4th Annual 5K run or walk to spread awareness and raise money for kids in the Dayton area.  Runner check in and day-of registration will begin at 9:30AM and conclude at 10:45AM. The check-in will be inside Southern Ohio Brewery. 100% of race proceeds will impact kids in the local area. The course is on the Beavercreek bike path. Top male and female runners will receive a custom one of a kind trophy in each age group. This will be a professionally timed course that is anticipated to yield fast results.

Following the race, please join us as a community at Southern Ohio Brewing, a portion of every beverage purchased will be donated to Just a Pair of Shoes!  While runners wait for others to finish, there will be a food truck available for purchase and you can purchase raffle tickets for prizes!

Parking will be at the Brewery, the park next to it, and a large lot two doors down from the brewery. 

( we will have signs and people volunteering to show you where to park)
