Training Camp 5K - Pro Football Hall of Fame Race Series

Join us for our FOURTH annual “Keyed Up 5k” walk/run on FRIDAY, April 24th, at 8pm, sponsored by the Vocal Patrons Association at GlenOak High School!

Our 5k is a relaxed evening event and walkers, joggers, and runners of all ages and abilities are welcome to join us! The 2026 edition features a return of last year’s popular "GLOW MODE", powered by neon, loud colors, and your own energy and style as you run, walk, or crawl along the course starting and ending at GlenOak stadium.

Back this year is the "fun run" for kids 12 and under who aren't ready to walk or run through the 5k!

This year we are moving away from timing all runners, and focusing on moving, music, and celebrating our choral arts programs together. The top 3 men and top 3 women runners will have recorded times and receive trophies, and all other participants will note their own times as they cross the finish line and join the celebration!

Vocal Patrons Association raises funds to support the vocal arts programs at GlenOak, and 100% of money raised goes to provide direct financial support for the choral programs throughout Plain Local Schools. We hope you will join us as we move in harmony together!

Join us in making a difference! The proceeds from this charitable race will support Cleveland Clinic Mercy Mission Outreach Food Insecurity Program. Your contributions will help fund our biweekly outreach efforts, where prepared meals and vital health information are distributed to neighborhoods in need throughout Canton. Together, we can provide food and hope to the homeless, children, and individuals facing food insecurity. Every step you take helps us nourish our community and promote healthier lives for those in need.

Night Glow traces its roots back to the Jackson Township 5K transitioning into the Jackson Night Glow in 1999 as part of the Jackson Star Spangled Celebration. From its humble beginnings, the race quickly grew into the beloved evening tradition it is today, continuing to foster a strong sense of community within Jackson Township and beyond. The Jackson Night Glow is an all-inclusive 5k evening event designed for individuals of all ages. Participants will experience a vibrant night race illuminated by a captivating array of glowing elements. The event features a Kids ½ Mile Fun Run designed for younger participants before the main festivities. It is not just a 5k race, it is an experience: What makes the Jackson Night Glow 5k so unique - it could the 1,500 luminaries that light the course, the booming fireworks to start the race, the the 300 foot arch way of lights, the rowdy spectators in the neighborhood streets cheering you on, the amazing race shirts, the glow necklaces etc. Following
