DESCRIPTION
Grab your ruby slippers and running shoes or hop on your broom, and join us for the Race to Oz 5K fun run in Ionia, Michigan! Starting and ending on the Fred Meijer Trail at Steele Street in downtown Ionia, this magical fun run will transport you from the streets of Ionia to somewhere over the rainbow. After the run, stick around and celebrate the Wizard of Oz festival with official Character Meet and Greets, Celebrity Guests, Glinda’s tea party, or visit one of our many vendors. See the movie that started it all at the historic Ionia Theatre. Tickets are only 25 cents each, same price as they were 80 years ago!
