The Groveport Recreation Center will hold the Together We Can Overcome 5K Run on Oct. 10 in Groveport Park, 7370 Groveport Road. This event replaces the Apple Butter Day 5K and will look much different due to COVID-19. Check in begins at 9 a.m. and the run begins at 9:30 a.m. Fee is $12 per person. All ages welcome. Walkers also welcome. Social distancing will be stressed, including a staggered start, wide passing, and wearing face coverings up until the start of the event. The run will be a fun run, not a competitive run. Keep your own time. The run is limited to 125 participants. Run/walk will begin and end in Groveport Park. Course maps are available on the recreation department website. Pre-registration required. Register by Oct. 2 to receive a run t-shirt and registration runs through Oct. 8. Registration is available in person at the Groveport Recreation Center or online. For information go to www.groveportrec.com and look under fall special events.
