The Second Annual Licking County Suicide Prevention Coalition Awareness Race will return in 2026 as a powerful, community-driven event focused on connection, remembrance, and hope. Hosted by the Licking County Suicide Prevention Coalition, this race brings together families, survivors, first responders, educators, behavioral health providers, and community members who share one goal: saving lives.

Participants can choose to walk or run, whether competitively or at their own pace. The event is designed to be welcoming to all ages and abilities. More than just a race, this gathering creates space to honor those we have lost to suicide, uplift those who are struggling, and stand alongside individuals and families impacted by mental health challenges.

Throughout the event, attendees will have access to local prevention resources, crisis information, and opportunities to connect with coalition members and partner organizations. Proceeds support local suicide prevention efforts, including education and awareness initiatives, gatekeeper trainings, and outreach that reduces stigma and increases help-seeking in our community.

In its second year, the Awareness Race continues to build momentum as a visible reminder that suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility. By showing up, participants send a clear message: you are not alone, your life matters, and help is available.

Whether you run in memory of someone, in support of a loved one, or simply to stand with your community, your presence helps renew hope and strengthen our shared commitment to prevention in Licking County.

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.

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!

On June 20th at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati, we will hold the 4th Annual “Run for Chief” race in honor of Jaden Woodard. Jay Chief, as he was often called, was born with a heart defect and underwent multiple heart surgeries by the age of two. At 11, his heart began to fail, and he required a heart transplant. In 2014, as a freshman at Summit, he received his new heart at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and was able to thrive socially and academically in the years following his surgery. He also ran for Summit’s cross country and track teams which is an extraordinary feat given his condition. Jay Chief graduated from Summit in 2018 and attended The Ohio State University as a finance major. Jaden interned at JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York City before the start of his senior year of college where he had the time of his life and made some of his closest friends. Jaden passed away on September 12, 2021 at the age of 21 after complications with his new heart.

The proceeds will continue to be donated to families at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital who have children receiving heart transplants just like Jaden did. Heart transplants are expensive, with an average cost of $1,670,000 before insurance, and families face additional costs such as long drives, hotel stays, and hospital food. Our goal is to alleviate a portion of that financial stress through our donations while also bringing a smile to the faces of the patients!Jaden’s legacy and positive impact continues to live on through the “Run for Chief” race through this race and the donations made at Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute.

Join us at the Firefly!

Each and every year, one of the world’s most beloved bugs visits Ohio – proudly announcing their arrival with random sparks and flickers of glowing neon throughout the summer sky. Join us as we welcome and celebrate the most efficient light in the world… the firefly! (nearly 100% of the energy in the chemical reaction within the fireflies light organ is emitted light… it’s true)

Whether you’re looking to set a distance PR or just looking to run in the dark with some friends, “The Firefly Overnight Endurance Challenge and Sunset & Sunrise 10k” will offer you that opportunity with 12-hours of fully supported, overnight-racing throughout the ONLY trail in central Ohio built BY runners, FOR runners! Wait, what?!?! Overnight!?!?! Yes!!​

The race will start at 8pm, and it will be dark no matter which race you choose! So, even though the fireflies will help light your way, headlamps and/or flashlights are mandatory. Reflective gear, glow-sticks, and body-paint are encouraged.

Bring your family and friends, as the course will pass through the overnight group-camping area. Don’t forget the kids! They’ll have a race too! The kids mile will start promptly 30-minutes prior to the “big kids” race.

The Firefly Overnight Endurance Challenge, starts at 8:00pm, on the Rocks and Roots trail at Alum Creek. The clock stops at 8am for the overnight challenge. Only completed laps count towards mileage.

For the safety of all our participants, minors 14-18 are permitted to run the overnight challenge with an adult on site for duration of race. Children under 14 are not permitted to participate.
