The Redhead Run 5K starts at 9:00 AM on September 19, 2026, giving you a reasonable morning window to get to Napoleon, Ohio. The race takes place at K980 County Road 17D and covers a 5K distance. Entry fees fall between $25 and $30. If you're traveling for this event, plan to arrive with enough time to handle packet pickup and warm up before the 9:00 AM start. The rural venue means you'll want to account for potential traffic patterns on county roads when timing your arrival from out of town.

From the Race Organizer
Join us for the 12th annual Kevin R. Schwiebert Memorial 5K Redhead Run/1-Mile Walk! Participants can choose from either a 5K route along the country roads or a 1 mile route through the village of Florida, Ohio. Both are the same price to participate. Medals are awarded for the 5K route only, but everyone is entered to win gift certificates from our generous donors, whether they do the 5K route or the 1 mile route. The registration fee is $25 per participant before August 22nd and $30 after that date. Kids 12 and under are free with paid parents or guardian (they do still need to register and sign the waiver). Registrations will be accepted until the start of the race. Anyone registering before September 7th will receive a free Redhead Run t-shirt with their registration. All are welcome, whether you want to run, walk, bike...just as long as you have a great time! All paying (over 12 years of age) participants are also entered in a gift card giveaway at the end of the event! Feel free to rock the red hair, whether it's the real deal and something you came up with yourself! All proceeds will benefit the Kevin R. Schwiebert Memorial Fund.

Course & Travel Notes

The Redhead Run 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk takes place in Napoleon, Ohio on September 19th, 2026, with races starting at 9:00 AM—plenty of time after sunrise at 7:21 AM to get settled. You'll want to fly into Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, which is about 21 miles from the venue, so plan for a short drive to get there. Expect typical September weather with highs around 76°F and lows around 53°F, though there's roughly a 27% chance of rain that day, so pack layers and maybe a light rain jacket just in case. The venue sits at 682 feet elevation, so it's a pretty straightforward course without major altitude concerns.
