Description
19th annual OPC 5K family fun run/walk to benefit Meals on Wheels. The race begins and ends at the Older Persons' Commission (OPC) and travels along the picturesque Clinton River Trail and back. All participants will receive an event T-shirt (must register by 5/9/2026), race bib, ticket to pancake breakfast, and post race snacks.
New this year, we’re launching peer-to-peer fundraising, which means you can help spread the mission. When you create your personal fundraising page, you can invite friends, family, and coworkers to support your walk or run. Every donation helps provide nutritious meals and vital wellness checks for homebound seniors, neighbors who rely on Meals on Wheels for both nourishment and connection.

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Story
Every step you take at OPC Social & Activity Center’s Annual 5K Run/Walk for Meals on Wheels helps a neighbor in need, and this year, you can make an even bigger impact.
On June 6, 2026, our community will gather for a family-friendly 5K that’s perfect for all ages and all physical levels. Whether you run, walk, stroll with a stroller, or cheer along the route, everyone is welcome. After the race, we’ll celebrate together with our new favorite tradition, a pancake breakfast, making this a joyful morning for the whole community.
New this year, we’re launching peer-to-peer fundraising, which means you can help spread the mission. When you create your personal fundraising page, you can invite friends, family, and coworkers to support your walk or run. Every donation helps provide nutritious meals and vital wellness checks for homebound seniors, neighbors who rely on Meals on Wheels for both nourishment and connection.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to ensure seniors in our community continue to receive the care, dignity, and support they deserve. To add a little friendly competition, prizes will be awarded to the participant who raises the most money.
By participating and fundraising, you’re not just joining a race, you’re helping make sure no senior is forgotten. Thank you for being part of this meaningful new chapter for our annual 5K.
