Jean Sheaks Memorial 5K Run

Jean Sheaks Memorial 5K Run & Fun Walk takes place in Saint Marys, Ohio, as part of the annual St. Marys Tailgate For Cancer. The event offers two 5K options: a chip-timed Run/Walk and a 5K Fun Walk without timing.

The course begins on South Street behind the St. Marys Theater, with a community atmosphere featuring a National Anthem, a balloon launch, and post-race awards. Runners and walkers also have a chance at door prizes, and the Bloody Mary Bar is a recurring festive feature.

This is the 16th year of the memorial event. Proceeds support cancer-related causes in the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
