Walk, Hike, or Run with us this year in our Run The Parks 5k Series as each month we explore a different MetroPark throughout Butler county. This family-friendly, non-competitive 5k series will take place on the first Saturday of every month, with route details provided through online registration.

February: Mill Race AreaGrab your running partner, significant other, friend, or family member and share the love of running just before Valentine’s Day this year. The Mill Race Preserve Area of Four Mile Creek MetroPark flows through meadows and wooded stream corridors along Four Mile Creek. Then brings you back to the finish, where drinks and light snacks will be available.

Participants will need to make two laps of this 1.6-mile marked course which is entirely natural surface trails. There will be a water and first aid station at the 1.6-mile point. Specific details about the route will be provided via email the week of. Check-in begins at 10:00 AM, and the run starts at 10:30 AM.

Everyone who enters will receive a Run The Parks sticker. Registered participants will receive tiered prizes based on how many of the twelve 5k’s they participate in. (Prizes to be announced at a later date)

Participants only need to register once for the year and then may participate in as many runs as they would like.
