Strides for Safety is a family-friendly, timed 5K at Winton Woods organized by Jane Holbrook, a high school junior living with severe food allergies. The event benefits food allergy awareness and advocacy.
More than 1 in 13 children and 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. have a food allergy—over 33 million people. A food-allergic reaction sends someone to the emergency room every three minutes. Funds raised through this event support the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT), an organization dedicated to education, advocacy, and research, while supporting families in Cincinnati and across the country living with life-threatening food allergies.
The 3.1-mile course at Winton Woods Park features a scenic lake, wooded trails, and beautiful spring views. The event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities—families, kids, and first-time 5K participants are welcome.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, the post-race celebration includes music, raffle baskets, and allergy-friendly items. Awards will be given to the top three finishers, along with a special award for the Most Spirited Food Allergy Family.
Join us as we turn strides into safety—every step helps protect children and families affected by food allergies!
