The Fourth of July Stampede

The Fourth of July Stampede
Celebrate Independence Day at The Fourth of July Stampede, a  5K and 1-mile trail event at Wooster Memorial Park. Runners, walkers, families, and community members of all ages are invited to kick off the Fourth of July with a fun morning on the trails.

Whether you want to tackle the technical singletrack and climbs of the 5k, or enjoy a run/walk through the woods and around the field in the one mile, there is a distance for everyone!

A portion of each entry will go back to The Friends Wooster Memorial Park. Wear your red, white, and blue and join us for a festive holiday race!
