Ashtabula Arts Center 5k Prediction Run/Walk


Come on out to the Arts Center on Saturday, July 19th and take part in the 5k prediction run/walk. Not just for athletes, this event is open to anyone and participants will run and/or walk at their own pace. Everyone has a chance to win!


Here is how it works. Before the race begins, participants will guess how long it will take them to complete the 5k distance. Then everyone runs and/or walks the route which winds through our scenic Ashtabula Harbor. Leave your watches at home! No timing devices will be allowed. Those that finish closest to their predicted time win! In addition to awards for the winners and door prizes, every entrant will receive a free ticket good for a G. B. Community Theatre show next season.
