Due to forecast inclement weather, the Gift Exchange 5k is canceled out of an abundance of caution for volunteers' and racers' safety.
The Ohio River Road Runners Club is a 100% all-volunteer 501(c)(3) Ohio Non-Profit club dedicated to promoting running and supporting the local running community in and around Dayton, Ohio. We are one of the largest (and we think BEST) clubs in the nation.
Please be advised that, out of an abundance of caution due to incoming inclement weather (especially volunteers who must continue working after the race has concluded), the Gift Exchange 5k has been canceled. Thank you for your understanding and kindness.

Your favorite winter-time training event is back, and this year it's TwentyTwentyKICKS! We'll be working together to each accomplish 202.6 miles of running or walking between 1 January and 31 March 2026! Plus, this year we've partnered with RunnersPlus to get each participant a 15% discount AND a part of our proceeds and all donations will go toward getting running gear for local kids in need!
Registration for ORRRC races is now through RunSignUp, both before the race and on race day! ORRRC members should know the email and password for their RSU profile used for club membership. Logging into RSU with those credentials during registration will waive the race fee for members who are current on the race date. We highly recommend preregistration, which can be used by ORRRC members, non-members, adults, and minors who are registered by their parent or guardian. If you register on race day, you will be guided through the RSU process as we seek to reduce paper forms and data entry as much as possible. Thank you for your help!
