About the Lifesaver 5K / 10K
The course runs around a peninsula near the marina at Charles Mill Lake Park, east of Mansfield. The setting is quiet and wooded, with the lake close by for most of the route. Shorter distance runners and walkers do a single loop; longer distance runners go around again. The terrain is park-style, nothing technical.
The race raises money for the Richland County Lions Clubs, with proceeds going toward locator devices that help families track loved ones with cognitive and developmental conditions, through a local sheriff's department partnership. Registration is available on race morning, and awards go to top finishers overall and by age group.
