Baileys & Bacon 5K

Baileys & Bacon 5K is held in Lebanon, Ohio, in Warren County, on Saturday, April 17, 2027. The single format is a 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m., with the start line at the Lebanon Brewing Company. Treats are served afterward, including hot chocolate for younger participants, so the finish area is part of the appeal.

An 8:00 a.m. brewery start sets the tone: this is a social race first and a competitive one second, and the run/walk format means nobody is out of place at the back of the field. If you want a time, run the first mile a touch slower than goal pace and hold on; a 5K punishes an over-eager opening more than any other distance. If you are new to racing, a couple of months of running three times a week will get you there comfortably.
