Run of the Ox

The Run of the Ox is an annual 5k race held in Mantua, Ohio, designed to kick off the Ox Roast Fair. This family-friendly event supports charitable programs at St. Joseph's Church, with proceeds benefiting local initiatives.

Participants can enjoy a timed 5k run, a 1-mile walk, and post-race refreshments. Awards are given to the top three overall finishers and in various age categories. The race fosters community spirit and encourages attendees to stay for the Ox Roast Fair festivities later in the day.

Join in for a day of fun, fitness, and family activities!. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
