Sylvania Prevention Alliance hosts several family-friendly events throughout the year to promote good choices to our youth, parents, and community! Some events are free, while others raise funds to support our many great programs and resources. 

Saturday, February 22, 9:00 am, Olander Park

A great family event that will help chase away the winter blues!

In addition to the 5K and 10K, we are having a 1 mile race for our elementary age runners. Hot Cocoa and grab and go snacks will be available after the race finish. Age group awards will be awarded after the conclusion of the races

The 1 Mile Race or Walk will be the 1 mile loop around Olander Lake. We are offering a 1 mile timed race for kids and a 1 mile timed event for adults. (Whether you race or walk, you will get a time.)

The 5K Race will start at the Nederhouser Community Building, run south on the trail, exit out of Olander Park, cross Sylvania Ave into Farmbrook neighborhood, run onto the university parks trail to McCord Rd, head north on McCord to Sylvania Ave to Olander, and then circle the lake to finish in Olander Park at the Neiderhouser.

The 10K will follow the same course, but continue onto the University Parks trail, before coming back to the 5K course to finish. The courses are open to traffic and not a closed course. (Maps will be provided online and at packet pick-up.)

Proceeds will go toward our youth programs for promoting positive, healthy lifestyle choices and the prevention of drug, alcohol use and other at-risk behaviors in our community.  Sylvania Prevention Alliance provides programs that offer guidance and education and sponsors positive events that develop leadership and team building skills.
