Jefferson County Humane Society 5K Walk/Run

The Jefferson County Humane Society 5K Walk/Run takes place at 200 Airport Road in Wintersville, Ohio. Walkers start at 8:00 p.m., with runners beginning at 8:15 p.m. This event, now in its 10th year, serves as a fundraiser for local animals and this year's edition is a glow run/walk. The course is described by organizers as challenging. Participants are encouraged to bring their dogs, aligning with the Humane Society's mission. Those unable to attend can sponsor a shelter dog to participate. Luminaries can be purchased in honor or memory of a pet or person, lining the finish area to add a personal touch to the 5K.
