About the Event

Join us for WARM’s inaugural Hunger Heroes 5K, which will take place on Saturday, August 29th, 2026, at the Westerville Sports Complex (325 N. Cleveland Ave. Westerville OH 43082). Our Children’s Race will start at 8:40 AM, and our 5K will start at 9 AM. Proceeds will benefit Westerville Area Resource Ministry (WARM).

September is Hunger Action Awareness Month, an annual nationwide campaign to raise awareness about food insecurity and to inspire action. WARM’s Hunger Heroes 5K brings people together in a fun way to highlight the growing need in the Westerville community.

We also have a virtual option for those who cannot attend on event day.

WARM will be collecting non-perishable food items the morning of the race, so bring some items to the event and help others!
