The Fort Wayne Running Club is proud to host Runners on Pace "ROP" presented by Fort Wayne Orthopedics (formerly Runners on Parade) at its new location on the campus of our awesome title sponsor. Experience all the things that have made ROP Fort Wayne's favorite 5K, including a fantastic loop course, mostly roads with a straight stretch of paved trail in the final mile (mainly flat with a short hill at mile 2.6), cash prizes for overall open and master winners, gift cards for age group top three, youth awards, post-race refreshments and awards presentation under the canopy, custom designed race shirts. This location offers easy access to parking and the course boundaries the very beautiful Eagle March Nature Preserve (Trip Advisor's #24 of 114 things to do in Fort Wayne). This course will appeal to both the serious competitor and the causal walker/runner/families seeking a fun and social summer morning. Stay tuned for additional perks that will make this 5K a “must do" experience for all!
