Supporting Youth Education!

The Running Scared 5k benefits Youth Education. To date approximately $320,000 has been raised to help children in the Cincinnati Valley area.

The Running Scared 5k was first started in 2008. It is a flat 3.1 mile course through a “spooky” cemetery, ending at a fabulous Halloween Fest! Participants are encouraged to run/walk in costumes.
