By 1812Blockhouse

Runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts, mark your calendars for the 19th Annual Road Apple Run 5K, a unique road race set against the picturesque countryside of northern Richland County. The event will take place on Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 AM, starting at Crestview High School, located at 1575 OH-96.

Race Day Details and Registration

Participants can register on race day beginning at 8:30 AM in the commons area of Crestview High School. The event offers a scenic out-and-back course on a quiet country road surrounded by serene Amish farmland. While the terrain is mostly flat with slight upgrades, runners should prepare for a unique challenge—dodging “exhaust” from horse-drawn vehicles.

The $25 entry fee includes a free event t-shirt for those who register by February 21, 2025. Participants will also receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win gift baskets and gift cards.
