Helping Our Families In-Stride 5K takes place at Eastwood Metropark in Dayton, Ohio on April 26, 2026. Despite the "5K" in its name, the actual race distance on file is 1 mile, making it accessible for runners of various fitness levels. The event starts at 9:00 AM. Entry fees range from $30 to $35. Eastwood Metropark offers a park setting for your race morning, though you'll want to arrive early to handle registration and warm-up before the gun. This distance works well as a fitness test or recovery-pace effort during your training cycle, or as an option if you're bringing less experienced training partners to the event.

From the Race Organizer
Helping Our Families, a non-profit organization created with the mission of improving the quality of life of families, proudly presents the 2025 In-Stride 5K. In 2024, 19 families were assisted through emergency fund services that allowed them to either stay in their homes versus being evicted or in many cases buy groceries; 40 Dayton Public School students were registered at our Grandview Learning Lab to receive afterschool tutoring; and 169 mothers and children received Christmas gifts who would otherwise have nothing. All proceeds will go towards our mission of serving single mothers and their children, providing resources, support and hope by helping to remove barriers that prevent families from succeeding in the Greater Dayton area. Register by April 12, and you will receive a t-shirt with your entry and save $5. Donations also accepted and appreciated.
