Run That Shall Not Be Named 5K

The 2025 Run That Shall Not Be Named 5K is a themed fun run held in Kent, Ohio, at Fred Fuller Park. Now in its 9th year, this event is part of Kent's Wizardly Weekend and invites participants to dress in magical costumes, with prizes for house-colored socks. The mostly flat course loops through the scenic "Forbidden Forest" along a bike trail by the river.

The event includes a 5K race and a Kids Fun Run for ages 12 and under. All runners receive a commemorative bib, t-shirt, and medal. The race is chip timed, with awards for top finishers, creating a festive and family-friendly atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
