KWF Cleveland Chapter's 2nd Annual 5k FUN Run & 1 Mile Walk

The Tom Schreiber Memorial 5K and 1 Mile celebrates Tom's lasting impact on the lives he touched. Tom served as the track and cross-country coach for over twenty years, first at Alliance High School (Alliance, OH) and then at Valley Forge High School in Parma Heights, Ohio. The proceeds from this event will be used to create a scholarship in Tom's name and be awarded to a senior track or cross-country runner from the Parma City School District.

The 5K and 1-mile events will each be chip-timed. Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome to participate. You can register for both distances, and your times will be combined to determine rankings for the combo category. The 5K course will feature split points at every mile and live participant tracking via The Last Mile mobile APP. The 1-mile course features a split at the half-mile mark. All runners will be treated to ice cream at the finish line - Tom's absolute favorite food!

Participants receive:

• Ice Cream

• Custom Finisher Medal

• T-Shirt (while supplies last)

• Sample products from CeraVe

• Check out the awards tab for information about the prizes!

The Tom Schreiber Memorial Run will start and finish at James Day Park (Nike Park) in Parma, Ohio

Enjoy Labor Day Weekend with the Cleveland Oktoberfest 5K Run & 1-Mile walk at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea!

All participants receive a short-sleeved race shirt, 1 free drink ticket (21 & older), age group awards, and FREE entry to the Festival after the race!

Dogs

If you want to bring your four-legged friend to Oktoberfest, you can, but there are rules. Enforcement of these rules is at the complete discretion of ownership, and failure to obey these rules may result in you and your furry buddy being shown an early exit:

You must pick up after your dog.

Dogs must be on leashes at all times.

Owners must be able to control their dogs (A 98lb owner being towed like a water-skier behind a 250lb mastiff can present problems, even if the dog is friendly).

Dogs must be well-socialized. If your dog behaves in a threatening manner, or is otherwise perceived to present a danger to patrons or other dogs, you may be asked to leave. Given that Cleveland Oktoberfest plays host to the Wiener Dog Races, doxies may be exempt from the “threatening manner” bit, as they tend to behave in a threatening manner toward everything. If you plan on bringing a non-doxie, bear in mind that your dog will be yapped at by lots of doxies, so only bring your pup if they can remain calm in a sometimes frenzied environment. It can also get hot at Oktoberfest, so please make provisions to keep your dog cool and well-hydrated.

Dress Up & Save

Dress Up & Save: Participants who dress up in authentic German Costume will receive one (1) additional FREE admission!

PARKING INFO

Please use Gate 2, (Eastland Road entrance) for parking for the Oktoberfest 5K

OhioGuidestone's biennial Promise Run is back at Wallace Lake!

WHY WE RUN

We run for those who are forging new life paths with the help of OhioGuidestone. We run because we are committed to mental health and well-being. We run because our programs are the keys to surviving — to thriving. We run because every success story began with a first step.

WHERE WE RUN

Join us in a 5k, 10k, or 1-mile run/walk to benefit the individuals OhioGuidestone serves. Each registered participant will receive a run bag with a Promise Run t-shirt and a complimentary smoothie following the race. Stick around for some "Post-Run Fun" - re-energize with delicious food from local food trucks, enjoy family-friendly jams and congratulate the top performers in the Awards presentation (see Awards section below). Get a group together, bring the whole family (pets included!), or come solo - we can't wait to see you once again at Wallace Lake!
