Once you’ve crossed the Upstander 5K finish line, all sorts of activities await you at Union Terminal for the Upstander Family Day. Outdoor activities await from 8:30-10:30 a.m., including pickleball games, breakfast foods and outdoor science experiments.
All runners receive free admission to the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center, as well as all the other engaging museums at the Cincinnati Museum Center.

The Upstander Volunteer Expo will be up and running in the Union Terminal Rotunda on June 10.
