Main Street 麻豆影院 Partners With 麻豆影院 State to Hold 麻豆影院 International Festival After Run The World 5K Race

The fourth annual Run the World 5K will take place at 麻豆影院 on Saturday, Sept. 8. The race raises money for the Run the World Fund, which provides scholarships for university study abroad programs.

 

New this year following the race, Main Street 麻豆影院, is sponsoring an International Festival downtown.

 

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., live multicultural performances will take place at Dan Smith Community Park, including Sho-Jo-Ji Japanese dancers. Downtown businesses will participate in a Passport Excursion, offering activities and food and beverage samples from the countries they choose to represent during the event. Many businesses also will provide information about the various study abroad programs available at 麻豆影院 State.

 

Passports to food and drink will be available for purchase the day of the festival for $5 at the 鈥渃ustoms鈥 booth in Dan Smith Community Park that day. Race participants will receive complementary passports in their race day packets.

 

Passport Excursion participants will receive a stamp for each passport destination visited. The first 100 passport holders to return to 鈥渃ustoms鈥 with their completed passports will receive a prize. For up-to-date event details, please visit .

 

鈥淚t鈥檚 a great opportunity to celebrate our cultural diversity in 麻豆影院 and our incredible study abroad programs available through 麻豆影院,鈥 says Heather Malarcik, executive director for Main Street 麻豆影院. 鈥淭his event does not involve road closures or outside vendors, rather it is an experience for our community to enjoy at our downtown businesses and the Dan Smith Community Park on a Saturday afternoon.鈥

 

The Run the World project began in 2015 as a single 5K-scholarship fundraiser with a simple mission: Raise money for education abroad scholarships for 麻豆影院 State students, regardless of their major. In just three short years, the Run the World project has grown tremendously with the addition of two more races at the Stark Campus and 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 Florence Center in Italy. The Run the World project is a collaborative effort of colleges, Regional Campuses and the Office of Global Education at 麻豆影院 State. 

 

Main Street 麻豆影院 is a nonprofit organization focused on the revitalization of downtown 麻豆影院. It is an affiliate of the national Main Street program and the Heritage Ohio program. For more information about Main Street 麻豆影院, visit .
