    This unique race will take place completely within the Grafton Correctional secure perimeter. We will run a 3/4 mile loop for either a 5k or half marathon.

    We will be running with residents that are part of the Running2bwell training program that recently started at GCI and all proceeds will support Running2bwell. We recently bought $5000 worth of shoes for the men at GCI and we're hoping to raise that amount at the race.

    Runners will receive a custom t-shirt (sizes not guaranteed). Most importantly, you'll have the chance to run some miles with men that are working hard to improve their lives on their home court.

    Female runners are allowed but there is a strict dress code. Shirts must have sleeves, shorts must go mid-thigh, sweats should be worn to enter but can be taken off when running. No tight or form-fitting apparel. More rules may follow as I get them.

    All runners must be 21 or over.

    For security and logistical reasons we're limiting entries to the first 30 to register.

    You must arrive by 6:00 am to clear security. This isn't your usual race.

    Runners cannot bring anything except water bottles, hats, and watches. No phones, headphones, etc. You must bring a photo id and will need to lock your car keys in a locker at the entry point. Everyone is subject to search. While this is one of the safest facilities in the state, it's still a prison, and security for all is the highest priority.

    If you can't make it, please consider making a donation of any size to support this popular and effective program, we regularly run with 50 inmates 3 times per week to boost their mental health and recovery from addiction.

    Friendship APL is a private, independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit humane society founded in Elyria, Ohio in 1957. We own and operate the largest animal shelter in Lorain County.

    We are dedicated to ensuring that no animal should suffer without the basic necessities to live a healthy life, providing the education to promote and nurture the human/animal bond and treating all those who seek our help with kindness, dignity and respect.

    Friendship APL receives no government funding. We depend on the generosity and financial support of friends and neighbors, and on various fundraisers, to serve the people and animals of Lorain County.

    For sponsorship information, please contact Friendship Animal Protective League friendshipapl5k@gmail.com.

    100% of proceeds from this race go to Friendship APL's mission. Thank you for your support!

    We ask that those running with dogs start towards the back and please keep your dogs on a short leash. The race route is out and back so we will need all participants to be aware of runners coming back on the other side of the trail.

    *The number of "rentable" shelter dogs available will be dependent upon the dogs up for adoption at the shelter as of the day of the event, as well as the weather that day. FAPL will bring as many dogs as is possible, but please be aware that we may only be able to bring a handful, and potentially none, depending upon the aforementioned circumstances. Available dogs can be "rented" for a discretionary donation to the shelter, with a suggested donation of $15-20.

Now, sixteen years later, the Kerstetter 5K has evolved into more than just a memorial; it has become a symbol of unity, remembrance, and community support, embraced by countless individuals and organizations.
