Canton Bicentennial 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk

Step Back in Time and Race into the Future!

Join us in celebrating Canton’s Bicentennial with a unique run/walk through the historic Greenwood Cemetery, founded in 1831. You'll be part of a once-in-a-lifetime event as you pass landmarks like the Orendorff monument and the Ingersoll memorial.

This race features chip timing, with awards for the top three finishers. But the real legacy? Your race results will be sealed in the Bicentennial Time Capsule, to be unearthed 100 years from now! Imagine your great-grandchild discovering your time, will they challenge your record?

Lace-up your shoes, make history, and let’s run into the next century together! For more information and to register on-line: https://raceroster.com/events/2025/104083/canton-bicentennial
