When and where?
This year will be the 9th Annual 5K9. The event will run from 9:30AM to 1PM on Sunday, October 5, 2025 at Breck Community Park in Grove City. Walkers (Runners) will sign up for a specific starting time slot at the time of registration. Shirt and map pick up will happen at a designated registration location on Friday and Saturday prior to the event. We will email participants closer to the event with your registration location.

Dogs welcome
Dogs are encouraged to participate! We will have water stations for them throughout the route. The dog park will be open prior, during and after the event for our four legged participants to meet new friends. Please be mindful of your dogs’ needs and temperament and bring necessary items with you.
Time slots
During your online registration you will sign up for a time slot. Time slots are designed to simply space walkers out. If you miss your slot you can wait at Breck Park and we will get you into the rotation.
Donations appreciated
We are asking that all donations be in the form of gift cards. Gas, pet store, Amazon or local grocery store cards are encouraged. In addition, Speak for the Unspoken has a WISH LIST to make it easy for participants to purchase and send items directly to the non profit. Participants are asked to please provide proof of purchase (receipt) at registrations so we may track the donations. You may also bring donations the day of the event.
Speak for the Unspoken Wish List.
