Ohio Swiss Festival Cheese Chase

The annual 5K run that draws more runners each and every year is set to run through the festival grounds and throughout village of Sugarcreek on Saturday morning, October 1 at 8. A challenging 10K course is back again this year. The fun run is also a great way to participate in the annual Swiss Cheese Chase.   The race is part of the Ohio Swiss Festival held the fourth weekend after Labor Day.    This is a magical time in Sugarcreek located just 8 miles from Interstate 77 in Tuscarawas County. It is a time when Swiss is queen and cheese is for all during an event known as the Ohio Swiss Festival. There will be 64 candles in the Ohio Swiss Festival birthday cake this year. ?There will be everything Swiss from cheese to alphorns and, of course, singers and plenty of polka.
