Darby Creek Trail Run - Lake Darby

The event is the 15th annual Darby Creek Trail Run, held at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park near Galloway, Ohio. It offers trail running on park terrain and supports FLIP, an organization that promotes cancer-preventative lifestyles through community engagement.

Two distances are offered:

5k Run/Walk - relatively flat; running strollers allowed
10k Run - trail course that finishes with a stair climb noted by local trail runners

The 5k is described as family friendly and suitable for runners and walkers. The 10k covers more challenging trail terrain and includes a stair section near the finish. Both events list a registration fee of $35.

FLIP frames its work around a holistic prevention message using four themes: Fight, Live, Inspire, and Prevent. The organization emphasizes community connections, supportive partners, and activities meant to make prevention approachable and engaging. The event description notes opportunities for group activity and social involvement as part of FLIP's approach to encouraging active, preventive lifestyles.
