Licking Memorial Health Systems exists to improve the health of the community.  The objective of the “For Your Health” 5K Run/Walk & 1-mile Fun Walk is to offer a community event that encourages a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages.

The 5K will run in the traditional direction, and self-seeded starting corrals based on estimated finish times will be available.  Awards will be presented to the Top 3 Males and Females Overall, and Top 3 Males and Females in each age division.  All participants who cross the finish line will receive a participation medal.  RacePenguin will be used for race results.  For questions, please contact the LMH Development Office at

The Licking Memorial Hospital Development Council partners with The Dawes Arboretum, The Buckeye Valley Family YMCA, and Park National Bank to present the “For Your Health” 5K Run/Walk & 1-mile Fun Walk.  This family event is held each year during the summer, and everyone is invited to attend.  The event is not a fundraiser.
