Stow, Ohio Registration for the 3rd Annual Fishcreek Raccoon Run is now open, and an EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT will be available through December 31st. The Raccoon Run will be held on Sunday, April 27th, and will consist of a 5K and 1-mile Fun Run centered around the neighborhoods of Fishcreek Elementary School. While promoting the health and wellness of their students and the community as a whole, the Fishcreek PTA, who is organizing this event, will be using this fundraiser to support programs such as the Reading Club, family connectivity in the school, as well as improved safety and security within the school.
Last year’s race had over 800 registrants, and the organizers expect close to 1,000 participants this year, many who will come from all over Northeast Ohio to compete. This year’s timing company will be Ohio Running Events, which is known nationally for its professionalism and accuracy with timing and reporting of results.
Last year’s 5K overall Raccoon Run winner was Jonathon Blake, with a finish time of 17:34. The first female finished at 19:55 and that recognition went to Tracy Meder.
