03/31/2026

Thank you to the Union Township Board of Education for approving Union High School on September 27, 2026, as the site for 15 straight years for the Greater Union Chamber's Mayor's Day 5K!

Watch for new logo -- and more updates as the months progress!

The Chamber is already setting the framework for another successful 5K Run in 2026. We have a family identified, and we have made some important improvements to the registration process that will streamline and speed up checking in. Also, we have developed a more equitable process for receiving your t-shirts (based upon when you registered online, as opposed to when you show up at the actual 5K...and more! Stay tuned. More to come!

We are aiming for Sunday, September 27, 2006 -- but await confirmation from a variety of sources.

Happy New Year!
