Please join us in supporting maternal mental health on Sunday, May 10th, 2026 (Mother’s Day!) at the Westerville Sports Complex in Westerville, Ohio, for our 3rd Annual Mom Day 5k, 10k + Kiddo Dash! A gathering for all of “mom kind” and those affected by pregnancy struggles (miscarriages, stillbirths, hyperemesis gravidarum, infertility, and beyond) as well as postpartum struggles (anxiety, depression, isolation, and beyond). Family members, caregivers, fur moms, and ALL of humankind are welcomed and encouraged to join us! A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to POEM Ohio (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms), which offers support, resources, referrals, and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood, and empowered. You don’t have to be a mom to join us! We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and community members to come out and enjoy a special morning together.

Did you know postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth? More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them, according to POEM. We get to change this, one stride at a time. It's worth every mile to join us for this worthy cause.

Post-Race Celebration of Motherhood

Stick around after the race for our Celebration of Motherhood Village! Several local small businesses and nonprofits will be showcasing what they do for our community!

Click the "Sign Up" button for more information. We hope to see you in August!

Sloane's Story

On May 26, 2021, the Swanton family's lives changed forever. Their youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a 1 in a million brain tumor called a Pediatric Clival Chordoma. There is no treatment protocol for chordoma, especially in children. Sloane underwent 2 brain surgeries, 3 rounds of chemotherapy and was placed on a ventilator twice. The tumor started responding to chemo and Sloane regained her ability to move on her own, to breathe on her own and to even begin acting like a toddler again. Unfortunately though, the tumor stopped responding and started to grow despite all of the medical interventions she received. Sloane lost her battle to chordoma on September 14, 2021 at only 18 months old. Please join us in raising money to support Pediatric Chordoma Research through the Sloane Swanton 5K Research Run. Every dollar raised will help us move closer to finding a way to treat pediatric chordoma and develop new chemotherapy drugs to target those specific tumor cells. Her fight is our

fight now, her legacy is to help other children beat this horrible disease.

We invite you to join Central Ohio Primary Care for our "Run For The Health Of It" – a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile walk, happening on Monday, September 7, 2026. This fun, family-friendly event will take place at the Westerville Sports Complex, with participants enjoying the beautiful biking and running trails that surround the area.

For the past 15 years, Central Ohio Primary Care has hosted this event to benefit the communities we serve. All proceeds from the event directly support local initiatives that improve the physical and emotional well-being of underserved populations in central Ohio. Since its inception, we have granted nearly $1 million to local charities, making a lasting impact on our community.

Come be part of a great cause, enjoy the outdoors, and help make a difference in the lives of others!

The Dwell Student Ministry Camps 5k trail race through Sharon Woods Metro Park, to benefit students from Dwell Community Church to attend a life-changing summer camp with their peers.

This is a race to the benefit of middle and high school students looking at attend summer camps with friends through Dwell Community Church. These life-changing trips are dearly loved by students but many need assistance to be able to afford them. During these week-long camps, students experience many things for the first time -- visiting a large, outdoor, beautiful space outside of the state with the autonomy to explore & enjoy nature, building deep spiritual friendships, and exploring what they think about God.

See more about the camp here.
