Monarch Run

The Monarch Run is a 5K run/walk held annually at Miller Ecological Park in Lebanon, Ohio. This flat and fast course features crushed limestone gravel and natural trails, starting near the park's archway. The event is hosted by the Lebanon Parks and Recreation Board and coincides with the Lebanon Garden Club’s Butterfly Release, which includes educational displays and the release of hundreds of butterflies.

Registration costs $30, with the first 100 participants receiving a butterfly to release. Proceeds from the run support improvements to the Lebanon Parks system, making it a community-focused event combining fitness and nature appreciation.
