Expand Your Community Focused Experience by Serving

* The Walk & Serve is from 9:30 a.m. - Noon in the Ganyard and Edwards Buildings on the Franklin County Fair Grounds. Enthusiastic 4-H members will lead you through hands-on activities to create special items for Central Ohio residents/animals served by organizations such as: Ovarian Cancer Alliance, Stitched Together, Birthright International, Cancer Support Community of Central Ohio, Simply Living, Gigi’s Shelter for Dogs, MASH: Military and Service Heroes Food Pantry, American Cancer Society, Operation Evergreen, Blue Star Mothers, Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center, Enduring Hearts, Moms2B, Ohio Nurses Foundation, Hope Ministries, and the Hilliard Food Pantry.

Again this year, we are partnering with Go Green Hilliard, with Hilliard's Environmental Sustainability Commision. The Franklin County Fairgrounds will be hosting the Earth Day Recycling event.

The 5K run/walk will start and finish on the track. This is a flat course with a mix of running surfaces, which include the horse track, paved roads, multiuse trail and a section of packed crushed gravel all within the Fairgrounds property.
