Everyday Hero 5K/10K Run

🏅 Event Overview

YEAR 9!

This fun and inclusive event celebrates the Everyday Hero!! We've been honored to have veterans, first responders, small business owners, kids, walkers, runners of all levels, and awesome volunteers who give their time for their community. That’s what this run is all about – celebrating the Everyday Hero. It's more than a race! The 9th Annual Everyday Hero is a fun, family friendly 5k Run, 10K Run (new for 2025!) and 1 Mile Walk, dedicated to the memory of Jerome Rodio, an Oxford man whose great deeds and selfless acts helped bring together the community of Oxford, PA! More than a great citizen, Jerome was a fun, adventurous Dad & legendary Grandpop! Jerome enjoyed exploring with his kids and grandkids, and Nottingham Park was one of his favorite places to hike!

🎖️ Beneficiary Information

Proceeds benefit the Annual Veteran's Breakfast and the Oxford Chamber of Commerce, where Jerome was president at the time of his sudden passing in July of 2016. We’re pretty sure he’d get a kick out of this fun race, inspired by his good deeds.
