UPDATE FOR THE MAYOR'S 5K

After much deliberation and in consultation with the Union Police, the Board of Education, Union Township, and Chamber officials, the tough decision has been made to 
postpone this Sunday's 5K (9/27).

The NEW DATE is OCTOBER 18, 2026. This is being done to ensure the safety of all participants and attendees. If you have already registered, you are fine. Your registration is still valid for Oct. 18.

Please join us 10/18! Although the weather forecast is ever-changing, our CAUSE is not!
