2026 Point 5K FAQ
Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley
Saturday, July 11, 2026 | 10:00 AM (until about 10:11AM LOL. It's a quick one!)
White House Fruit Farm, Canfield, Ohio
Can I preorder a Point 5K t-shirt to pick up at the event?
Yep! Here is the link to pre-order your shirt! Just $12
What is the Point 5K?
The Point 5K is a lighthearted, half-kilometer (yes, 0.5K!) walk/run event supporting the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. That’s just 1,640 feet—a little longer than the Empire State Building is tall. It’s designed to be a short, family-friendly event with a big impact.
Why participate?
Every night, up to 186 men, women, and children rely on our shelter, and hundreds more come to us daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By joining the Point 5K, you’re helping provide meals, shelter, and hope to those in need.
What makes this event unique?
Let’s be honest: most 5Ks are "too long" lol. This walk/run is only half a kilometer—short and sweet! Plus, we’ve added fun twists, including:
- A donut stop at the halfway point
- A selfie station
- A Point 5K sticker cling for all participants
- Family-friendly fun all around the farm!
How much does it cost?
Just $5 per person! We want to make sure families and groups can join in the fun without breaking the bank. And kids 10 and under are FREE for the first time in 2026.
When and where is the event?
- Date: Saturday, July 11, 2026
- Time: 10:00 AM start
- Location: White House Fruit Farm, Canfield, OH
- Parking: Free and available on-site
- Route: A scenic walk around the pond, so wear comfy shoes
Are pets allowed?
Unfortunately, White House Fruit Farm does not allow pets on the property. Service animals are permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.
Can I help raise more money for the Mission?
Yes! You can sign up as a fundraiser when you register and share your personal fundraising link with friends and family. Every dollar raised helps support life-changing services at the Rescue Mission. Need help getting started? Call us at 330-744-5485 x503—we’d love to help.
Will there be same-day registration?
We recommend registering in advance to guarantee your goodies! It makes our development team super nervous not to know exactly how many donuts to pre-order from White House, so it helps to have folks preregistered.
Is this event timed or competitive?
HaHa! Nope! This is a just-for-fun event. No timing chips, no medals—just a great time for a great cause. There are some people who choose to run and we make sure that they are at the line first and clear out to make room for everyone who wants to just enjoy the simple walk on the farm.
What should I bring?
- Comfortable walking shoes that are appropriate for the farm (they may get a little dirty if the ground is wet)
- A fun attitude
- Water bottle (but we’ll also have a hydration station)
- Your camera or phone for those great photo ops!
Is the event stroller-friendly and wheelchair-accessible?
Mostly! The route around the pond and in the tree area is grass and (mostly)accessible for strollers and wheelchairs when the ground is hard and dry. It is an outdoor path with some roots, so please plan accordingly based on weather and terrain. And even if the ground is soft, there is plenty of fun near the starting line with music, a selfie station, and more!
Who can participate?
Everyone! Kids, teens, adults, grandparents—all ages are welcome. The more, the merrier!
