3.1 Miles Run Walk

In 2026, the Parma Run-Walk for Pierogies will turn FIFTEEN years old! Once again, many charities and community projects will be recipients of the proceeds. Guaranteed to the first 600 participants: our signature t-shirt, pierogies on site from Perla Pierogies along with a certificate for free pierogies courtesy of Parma’s own Perla Pierogies. We will also have icey, wet towels to cool you off right after the finish line. The top three women and men in our many age categories will win our famous pierogie necklace award. Our event takes place on the very flat Tri-C West Campus conveniently located at 11000 West Pleasant Valley Road. We hope you will join us on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
