Hi! My name is Ava and my friends and I are excited to be holding the 8th annual Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. When I was in first grade (2016) I started a lemonade stand at our community garage sale to raise money for “sick kids”. My parents and I found Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and knew it was a great fit for our mission. This organization helps to fund grants for research, raise awareness, and support families with a mission to help find the cure for childhood cancer.

My friends and siblings joined me on this mission and since 2016 we have held 7 lemonade stands and are excited to be holding our 8th Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. We have raised a total of $80,713, which has all been donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on behalf of this event! We couldn’t have done this without the support of our local businesses (sponsors) and community members (YOU)! We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you again this year to help us reach our goal of $10,000 to be raised this year.

This year we will again be holding a hybrid event. You can choose between an in-person or virtual event. The in-person event will take place at Hilliard Station Sixth Grade School on July 19, 2025; while the virtual event will be held wherever you choose.

*Virtual event registrations will have their packets dropped off (if local in Columbus, Ohio) or mailed to their home address (if not local).  All in-person registrations will receive their packets at the pre-race or race day packet pickup. In person registrations do not include shipping of packets.

If the 2025 in-person event is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all participants will be automatically converted to the virtual event. No refunds will be issued.
