Orangeandblackgetfit 5k Color Run

Come and join #orangeandblackgetfit and Operation Veterans Helping Veterans at the Cy Young Festival for the 9th Annual Hero Hustle 5k Walk and Run!

We are excited to be back again this year to not only honor our military men and women in our surrounding communities, but also be a part of the Cy Young Festival Weekend! All proceeds will go directly to support the Veterans, the #orangeandblackgetfit team, and the Cy Young Festival Committee in order to continue supporting all three non-profits.

This year's timed run will be a color run, so wear your white shirt and get ready to be powdered! The top 3 men, women, and children aged 14 and under will receive a medal! The top finisher in each category will also receive an autographed baseball from 2012 National League Cy Young Award Winner, R.A. Dickey! 

Race Info: The event will be held on Saturday, June 27th at Cy Young Memorial Park in Newcomerstown, Ohio. Race day registration will take place between 8:15 am & 8:40 am at the pavilion in front of the Cy Young pool. The cost to run is $25; this includes a patriotic bay band headband and a free day pass to Cy Young Pool! Please register online prior to June 27th (link will be available on the #orangeandblackgetfit and Cy Young Festival Facebook page) to secure your spot and a headband. **Runners who register the morning of the race will not be guaranteed a headband.** The opening ceremony will begin at 8:45 am, and the race will start at 9:00 am. Water stops will be provided for race participants, and we will also have a food truck on site for runners to purchase refreshments after the race!
