Sherry’s Hope announces road closures for the 23^rd annual Sherry’s Run 5K event on Saturday, September 12, 2026.

The Sherry’s Run 5K course begins at the event site at 623 West Main Street in Lebanon. The course heads east on West Main Street and then travels north on North Greenwood Street, passing the historic Woolen Mills to the U.S. 70 North By-Pass (also known as Baddour Parkway). The course heads west on the By-Pass to Castle Heights Avenue North and then travels south to Hill Street. At Hill Street, walkers can continue on Castle Heights Avenue North to return to the Sherry’s Run 5K event site, or they can continue on the race course onto Hill Street. For runners, at Hill Street, they will turn left, travel east to North Greenwood Street, then south to West Main Street where they will travel west and return to the finish line at the Sherry’s Run 5K event site.

Most road closures and detours along the route will be between 6 am and 11 am. At 6:30 am police and event personnel will implement a soft road closure along the entire race course. The 5K run begins at 8 am and streets will reopen on a rolling basis as soon as the last participant has passed and all course support materials have been removed. Streets along the beginning of the route will open earlier than roads along the end of the route. A road closure grid and complete course map can be seen at www.sherrysrun.org.

Residents and businesses located near the race course are encouraged to plan ahead and be aware of the road closure schedule and alternate access routes. Yard signs will be posted at each intersection along the race route several weeks in advance to notify residents and businesses.

“What happens at Sherry’s Run reaches far beyond race day. It’s through God’s blessings and the generosity and compassion of this community that Sherry’s Hope is able to stand beside families facing cancer and offer assistance when they need it most. We are thankful for every person who gives, volunteers, sponsors, runs, walks, and believes in the mission of Sherry’s Hope,” said Scott Jasper, Race Director of the Sherry’s Run 5K
