Hosted by Area Agency on Aging 3 September 5, 2026 Ottawa Metro Park – Wyandot Shelter 2632 Ada Rd., Lima, OH 45801 Start Time: 9:00 AM
Join us for the Hope in Every Step 5K & 0.5K Community Walk benefiting the Area Agency on Aging 3 Awakenings Victim Outreach Program, which supports older adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Proceeds from this event go directly to support older adult victims in their recovery.
Whether you are running, walking, or just wanting to support a good cause, this event is open to all ages and fitness levels.
The 0.5K Community Walk is just over 1/4 mile in distance. The walk will kick off at 9:05am and supports AAA3’s annual 10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls Campaign to promote healthy aging and fall prevention. Regular exercise is one of many things people can do to lower their risk of falling. Do a lap or more!
