Course & Travel Notes

The A Force Against Cancer 5k takes place in Centerville, Ohio on October 25, 2026, with an early 9:30 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive with plenty of time before sunrise at 7:57 AM. The venue sits at a modest 1,017 feet elevation, which should feel pretty comfortable for most runners. If you're flying in, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is your nearest airport at just under 15 miles away. Pack layers for typical late-October weather in the area—expect highs around 67°F and lows near 45°F, and bring rain gear since there's about a one-in-three chance of measurable rain on race day.
