Stars and Strides 5K 2026

The race.

The Stars and Strides 5K takes place on August 8, 2026, at Stormont Park in New Concord, Ohio, benefiting the Bravo Six Foundation's support programs for local veterans and first responders. The 5K course covers 3.1 miles on an out-and-back route through the village and along Route 22, with chip timing and water stations provided. A separate 1-mile family fun run, which allows leashed pets, starts five minutes after the 5K at 6:05 p.m. Registration through June 20 includes an official race shirt, custom bib, and finisher medal; later registrations do not guarantee these items. Awards go to the top three overall finishers and top three finishers in eight age groups (under 14 through 70+) for the 5K only. Post-race food and refreshments will be available on-site.
