Kick off your Christmas in Zoar experience with the Zoar Merry Miles, a 5K Run/Walk, that takes you around and through the village decorated in its Christmas splendor. The Kid’s Fun Run (10 & Under) is just under half a mile, and of course a family member may run/walk it with them.

The course is a mix of roads and trail with a few moderate hills, passing the Zoar Garden, crossing the iron bridge, taking in the wetlands and accessing the trail that leads back up into the village. A challenging, yet fun course!

Due to the Trail being a bit narrow in a couple of spots, and scattered with some tree roots, no strollers will be permitted.

Dogs on a fixed leash are permitted on the course.

Snacks & Refreshments:Cookies, soup, water, hot chocolate, granola bars and fruit at the finish line.

Join Us for the 3rd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery!📅 Date: Sunday, October 18, 2026📍 Location: 916 Kenmore Blvd., Akron, Ohio 44314

We’re excited to announce the 3rd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery —an event dedicated to celebrating resilience, recovery, and community. The 1 Mile Walk is an untimed event!

Virtual: Can’t participant on race day. We offer virtual so you can run the event any day/time and log your results from October 18-31!. You can pickup your items on Saturday/Sunday the weekend of our event or add on $10 for your items to be shipped to you after our event. The virtual mailing will be shipped after the event by October 23 and should be received by October 31. Virtual isn’t included in the awards!

This race was inspired by James Anderson, whose journey of recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, James ran 100 miles straight over 30 hours, pushing his body and mind to the limit to raise $20,000 for our organization. His dedication and belief in the power of recovery continue to inspire others to take that next step—whether it’s one mile or one hundred.

In 2024, we launched this race as a way to honor James’ efforts and create a lasting tradition that brings the community together in support of recovery. Our inaugural event was a huge success, but we also learned a lot—and we’re making exciting improvements for 2026! This year, participants can look forward to:

✅ A newly paved driveway at the start/finish line for a smoother race experience✅ An updated and more accurate race map to ensure precise course measurements✅ An even better event experience with improved logistics, amenities, and more surprises!

🏅 Whether you’re running the 7K, walking the 1-mile course, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps change lives.

Register today and be part of something bigger than a race—be part of a movement.Together, we run for recovery. Together, we believe.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the Shelter dogs that need more than basic services.

The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured—but otherwise adoptable—dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer group of local individuals who donate their time to the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, the volunteers plan and coordinate fundraising events, marketing and public relations projects and provide accounting and legal guidance. As an all-volunteer group, the organization is able to keep overhead very low, allowing over 95% of donations to help our shelter dogs in need.
