    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!

    The Raider Run is a fundraising event that supports the Junior ROTC program at Green High School in Green, Ohio and is a fun family event for ALL!

    The Raider Run consists of the following:

    • 3K Terrain Run through Southgate Park with 12 obstacles that will test your strength and stamina....and when you make it to the end, you will be sliding down the GIANT 150 foot slip-n-slide! Two things are guaranteed: you will get messy, and you will HAVE FUN!

    All ages are welcome, and accommodations will be available for anyone unable to complete an obstacle. Race participants will be sent onto the course every 15 minutes, and you may select your start time during registration.

    • 1 mile Veterans Honor Walk -- If a leisurely stroll is more your style, sign up to participate in the 1 mile Veterans Honor Walk at 11am. This walk is dedicated to the men and women that have served our great country, and a portion of all proceeds will go directly to supporting local veteran organizations including SAM Center (Serving Area Veterans) and The Veterans Advisory Commission of Green.

    And of course, you can always sign up to participate in both! If you select this option, you may select any available start time for the obstacle race, and will then walk the Honor Walk at 11am.

    We hope you plan to join us for a fun day of music, games, exercise, and kicking off the start of summer for a great cause! We look forward to seeing you there!
