The Finley’s Smile 5K & Smile Mile is great for families, as well as those looking to set their next PR! The event takes place at Liberty Park in Powell, Ohio, on a soft gravel path and consists of a 5K and 1 mile(ish) walk/run. All race participants receive a race shirt and medal! Instead of receiving a race shirt, you now have the choice to upgrade to a hoodie for just $15! If you’d like to take advantage of this offer, simply choose the size Hoodie you’d like during the giveaway selection section of checkout. This is an optional upgrade, and if you prefer to keep your race shirt, simply choose the shirt size you’d like.

The Finley’s Smile 5K & Smile Mile also serves as our celebration of Finley’s birthday, and will include some fun children’s activities, including face painting, and of course birthday cupcakes! We are looking forward to having you join us for this fun-filled, familyfriendly event!

Finley Grace Hollinger was born with Leigh’s Disease, a mitochondrial disease. In her short life with us, she taught us three important lessons which can be summarized as “Love, Play & Smile.” The Finley’s Smile 5K and Smile Mile is the primary fundraiser for the nonprofit organization, Finley’s Smile.

The goal of Finley’s Smile is to provide fun, authentic and meaningful experiences to children, while encouraging families to spend time together. In past years, Finley’s Smile has developed a Games in Schools program, within several libraries in Worthington Schools. Finley’s Smile has also helped to provide funding for a family play space at the Delaware YMCA, a community art event with the Boardman Arts Park, night hike programs at Ohio Wildlife Center, community gardening programs with Together We Grow Gardens, programs for children in foster care with Caring for Kids, obstacles at Gators Bike Park, a community mountain bike park, playground space at Harvest Hills Ministries, as well as many other wonderful organizations over the past 5 years – totaling over $63,000.

New this year! 2.5K The race course for the 5K is 2 laps around the park trail. This year you can sign up for a timed 1 lap, which is roughly a 2.5K.

With our partners at Asics and Race Penguin, we’re happy to bring back

The Fast Rabbits Summer Nights Race Series!!!

Presented by: Asics and Race Penguin

Come race with Fast Rabbits all summer long!

One of the most frequent questions we get about Youth Running is “What are some kid friendly races that have a lot of kids running?”

While we can always recommend any Race Penguin event, we thought to ourselves: there should be a kid-centered event. One where kids could come and try out running events if they were new to it, or challenge themselves to run further or faster than they had before. Maybe even get ready for their cross country season in the fall!

So what is this?

A three event race series to take place in June, July, and August!

RACE DATESJUNE 11th JULY 16thAUGUST 13thThe races will start promptly at 6:00pm in the evening, so parents and kiddos can get to the races on time!

Sounds great! Where are the races?

We have a loop course at Glacier Ridge Metro Park. The races will start at the Dog Park area of the park (Google Maps pin here)Course Map (1 and 2 mile options)available here Course Map (1/2 mile option) available here

That’s fun! How much does it cost?

Individual events are $15.00 each, with an optional t-shirt add-on of $10.

If you sign up for all 3 events at once the cost is $40.

That’s a great deal for a summer of racing!

Anything else I should know?

Our partners at Asics will be at each event to hand out fun goodies and some snacks for pre/post run.

We’ll have some popsicles for after the race for athletes and parents to enjoy!

Make sure to craft a sign at packet pick-up to help you cheer on your young athlete!

My athlete has never raced before, can I run with them?

Yes, you can!

However due to to course and safety limitations we must stipulate that only 1 parent of a registered athlete can run with them at a time.

Otherwise, we ask that adults stay off the course as much as possible and let the kids have their fun!

Oh, What about Packet Pick-Up? Where/when will that be?

Will there be on-site Race Day registration and/or Packet Pick-Up?

We will have race day registration, and packet pick-up!If you are registering on-site on race day, be sure to bring your phone and/or credit card as our friends at Race Penguin will have a QR code to sign up using your phone.Volunteers may be able to assist you by walking you through on your phone, but may not be able to help sign you up.

How do I choose the distance my athlete will race? Can they switch distances?

Sure thing! We understand that young athletes have their ups and downs just like adult athletes. It’s best to talk with your athlete multiple times before race day to see what distance they’d like to run. Try to ask them if they’d like to beat their previous best mile time, or try a new distance. It’s always good to remind athletes that it’s ok to be nervous about a race, but just remind them that they’ll learn something from each race experience no matter how it goes.

Athletes should try to make their decision before the race if possible, but if they need to switch after doing one loop they need to immediately tell the Race Penguin timing staff so we can ensure correct results.If they are switching from the 1/2-mile race to another distance, DO NOT START WITH THE OTHER 1/2 MILE RACERS. Please see the Race Penguin staff before the start of the race you’re planning on racing so they can switch you.

You will select your distance FOR ALL THREE EVENTS during registration. If you need to switch a distance for a particular event, please reach out as soon as possible.

Bring a used piece of athletic equipment to any of the races, and receive a portion of your race fee refunded!

We’re partnering with Leveling the Playing Field a wonderful organization that collects new and lightly used athletic equipment to expand access in youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities in central Ohio.We’ll have collection bins at each of the races, so please bring some lightly used or new athletic equipment for us to collect together!

We’ll collect your registration information and issue the refunds after the races!Click here to view their website and learn more!
