We invite you to the Return of the Four Leaf Clover 4-mile run and Alayna Bretsik Family Fun Run to benefit cancer patients of all ages right here in Northeast Ohio on Saturday, September 12th at 10:00am.

This is the must do short distance run in the Akron area for 2026! Of course, you can walk it too! This challenging, fun four-mile course will travel through some of the famous brick road West Hill neighborhoods of Akron, including historic Glendale Cemetery. The run will finish on the 50-yard line of John Cistone Field at the VanDevere Automotive Family Station on the campus of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Yes, the same field that LeBron played on! Included in all the fun is the finisher’s party. The Four Leaf Clover Run Finisher’s Festival is complete with live music featuring Disco Inferno, refreshments, and an onsite BBQ. There is also an awards ceremony for overall and age group winners and recognition of fundraising champions and cancer fighters. Most importantly, your entry fee is not just another race fee; think of it as a gift to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
