    The 15th ANNUAL DARBY CREEK TRAIL RUN - 5k + 10k

    The course will be a 5k and 10k trail run through the picturesque but challenging terrain of Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. The 5k is relatively flat and can be enjoyed by runners and walkers of all skill levels. FAMILY FRIENDLY!

    The 10k is a true challenge ending in a stair climb that has become infamous among the Columbus trail running community.

    In keeping with FLIP's goal to encourage a cancer-preventative lifestyle, FLIP encourages every fitness level to come out and enjoy the scenery!

    Running strollers are allowed on the 5k course but not the 10k.

    FLIP recognizes that cancer prevention requires a dynamic shift in our thinking and is empowering individuals to engage in preventing cancer using a holistic approach:

    Fight- Fighting together to challenge cancer risks outside of our individual control.

    Live- FLIP is all about having fun and living life to its fullest... the best way to prevent cancer!

    Inspire- It's so worth it to challenge yourself to reach out to friends and family (We'll help you!)

    Prevent- FLIP aims to make prevention fun, approachable, simple, and community-driven.

    It's easy to "FLIP" -- We are connecting community partners to provide an entire support network and building an interactive website that aggregates and simplifies everything you need to know. It's engaging! FLIP is not only an attractive, energetic brand; it's a movement empowering people to shape & make it their own along the way.

    It's fun! Get out and enjoy being active with friends and family. Stay involved throughout the process via social media, organized activities, and unique outings.

    Hi! My name is Ava and my friends and I are excited to be holding the 9th annual Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. When I was in first grade (2016) I started a lemonade stand at our community garage sale to raise money for “sick kids”. My parents and I found Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and knew it was a great fit for our mission. This organization helps to fund grants for research, raise awareness, and support families with a mission to help find the cure for childhood cancer.

    My friends and siblings joined me on this mission and since 2016 we have held 8 lemonade stands and are excited to be holding our 9th Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. We have raised a total of $92,273, which has all been donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on behalf of this event! We couldn’t have done this without the support of our local businesses (sponsors) and community members (YOU)! We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you again this year to help us reach our goal of $10,000 to be raised this year.

    This year we will again be holding a hybrid event. You can choose between an in-person or virtual event. The in-person event will take place at Hilliard Station Sixth Grade School on July 18, 2026; while the virtual event will be held wherever you choose.

    *Virtual event registrations will have their packets dropped off (if local in Columbus, Ohio) or mailed to their home address (if not local). All in-person registrations will receive their packets at the pre-race or race day packet pickup. In person registrations do not include shipping of packets.

    All proceeds from the race will again be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Please support us and our mission to help support pediatric cancer research!
