Training for the Cleveland Marathon or Glass City? Feeling bored with winter and want a little challenge? Or just generally a big fan of runs that finish with a craft beer? This is a great opportunity to have a fully supported long run. This is East Side vs West Side. This is a chance to Run The Land.
About the Run:
Aid stations will be every 3 miles for the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 20 Mile courses. This is a RULES OF THE ROAD event. Runners, walkers, and ruckers must stay on the sidewalk & follow traffic laws. We have courses highlighting Cleveland and a few of the surrounding suburbs. The courses will have minimal crossings and are easy to follow. Runners will be timed using a Chronotrack B Tag Timing Chip and RaceJoy, an GPS tracking app, that will alert you if you are off course and give you an official finish time.
This is more than a run.
This is a hybrid, in-person marathon designed by runners, for runners, and giving back to Greater Cleveland charities. This run is great for many reasons; the swag is awesome, the run is tracked and timed on a fully marked course, and most importantly, the funds get pumped right back into the community to help nonprofits that directly service C-L-E. We are putting our best foot forward on this one to put on an exciting run that will bring a positive impact to the greater Cleveland area.

About Us
The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio is proud to bring back one of our most beloved traditions—reimagined for today.
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, we invite the community to join us for the DCNEO Community Festival & Walk, a free, family-centered celebration taking place at the Great Lakes Science Center.
Formerly known as Walk, Rock, Roll & Run, this event returns after a one-year pause with a renewed focus on what matters most: connection, community, and belonging. This year’s event features a walk-only experience alongside a vibrant community festival designed for all ages.
Why We Walk
At The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio, our work is rooted in a simple belief: everyone deserves to belong.
For nearly a century, DCNEO has partnered with schools, organizations, and communities across Northeast Ohio to help people better understand one another, navigate difference, and build environments where all individuals can thrive. While the language and landscape around diversity continue to evolve, our purpose remains clear—to empower people and organizations to create communities where everyone belongs.
The Community Festival & Walk reflects this moment in our work. It is not about competition or pace, but about presence—showing up together, side by side, across differences. It is a space to celebrate community, invest in young people, and connect families, educators, leaders, and neighbors to the tools and relationships that move inclusion from intention to action.
When you walk with us, you are supporting programs that:
Equip students and educators with skills to lead with empathy and understanding
Strengthen workplaces and organizations through inclusive leadership and dialogue
Foster community connection across lines of identity, experience, and belief
This walk is a reminder that progress is collective—and that meaningful change happens when we move forward together.
Walk Together. Give Together
Participation in the Community Festival & Walk is free and open to all. Everyone is welcome to walk, celebrate, and be part of the day.
For those who want to deepen their impact, we invite you to create a walking team and fundraise in support of The Diversity Center’s work. When friends, families, workplaces, and community groups walk together and raise funds, they help ensure our programs remain accessible to students, schools, and organizations across Northeast Ohio.
Fundraising is optional, but meaningful. Every dollar raised supports youth leadership development, inclusive education, and community-building initiatives that strengthen belonging throughout our region.
Start a Walking Team
Creating a team is a powerful way to:
Rally your family, coworkers, or network around a shared purpose
Honor someone, celebrate a milestone, or give back together
Multiply your impact while having fun and building community
Teams can be formed by workplaces, schools, families, faith communities, or groups of friends. Whether you raise $100 or $10,000, your participation helps move our mission forward.
Virtual Participation Option
Participate From Anywhere — Join Virtually
Can’t join us in Cleveland? You can still be part of the Community Festival & Walk.
Our virtual participation option allows individuals and teams to walk, move, and fundraise from wherever they are. Whether you're in another city, traveling, or supporting from afar, your participation helps strengthen The Diversity Center’s programs and impact across Northeast Ohio.
Virtual participants can:
Register and create or join a team
Participate on their own schedule
Walk, run, or move in their own community
Fundraise and compete in the Unity Challenge
Be recognized as part of the Community Festival & Walk
Distance doesn’t limit your impact. Every step still counts.

Join the Unity Challenge - Traveling Trophy Fundraiser for all Teams
We are excited to officially relaunch The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio’s Unity Challenge as part of the return of our Community Festival & Walk.
Last year, Thompson Hine made history by winning the inaugural Unity Challenge and earning the honor of keeping the original Traveling Trophy permanently. Now, we begin again — with a brand-new trophy and a fresh opportunity for your team to build the next legacy.
For organizations, workplaces, and teams ready to make a bigger impact, the Unity Challenge Traveling Trophy offers a chance to unite your colleagues, friends, and family around a shared purpose. Rally your team, support youth leadership and inclusion across Northeast Ohio, and compete to become the 2026 Unity Challenge Champion.
The winning team will take home the new Traveling Trophy and be recognized as leaders helping to build communities where everyone belongs.
Compete From Anywhere
The Unity Challenge Traveling Trophy is open to both in-person and virtual teams.
Organizations with remote employees, multiple office locations, or out-of-town participants can still compete. Virtual team members can walk and fundraise from wherever they are while contributing to their team’s total.
This makes it possible for entire organizations — regardless of location — to unite behind a shared goal and compete to become the 2026 Unity Challenge Champion.
No matter where your team is located, you can still build your legacy.

The 10th annual Resiliency Run features a 5k run through the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The unfortunate truth is that traumatic and burn injuries are common in our community, but so are strength and recovery. The Resiliency Run was created to honor this strength and to acknowledge the extraordinary people - survivors and their loved ones - who are moving themselves from the worst days to the very best. This event also honors the caregivers who provide a steady hand of healing along the way. Funds raised will benefit trauma and burn survivors who come to MetroHealth for critical care needs as well as other healthcare needs.

What you Get
Run for the Heartline T-Shirt
Organization Description
Run for the Heartline is a community 5K dedicated to saving lives by raising awareness of aortic disease, including aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, and supporting the patients and families affected by it. Your steps on race day help shine a light on a condition that is often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and too often fatal when not recognized in time.
Aortic disease affects the body’s main blood vessel, the aorta, the high-pressure “heartline” that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When the aortic wall weakens, it can balloon (aneurysm) or tear (dissection), leading to severe internal bleeding and a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate care. Many people living with aortic disease have no symptoms until a crisis occurs, which is why education, early diagnosis, and family screening are so critical.
Aortic disease can affect anyone, from young adults to older people, and it does not always come with traditional “risk factor” warnings. Some individuals are at especially high risk, including those with a family history of aortic aneurysm or dissection, people with certain genetic or connective tissue conditions, and those with long-standing high blood pressure. Too many families first hear the words “aortic dissection” only after a sudden loss or near-fatal emergency, underscoring the need for greater public and medical awareness.
The hopeful news is that many tragedies can be prevented. When aortic enlargement or disease is found early, through imaging, genetic evaluation, and appropriate specialist care, doctors can monitor the aorta closely and, when needed, perform planned surgery before a dissection occurs. Healthy lifestyle choices, such as controlling blood pressure, staying active, eating a heart-healthy diet, and avoiding smoking, also help protect the aorta and reduce overall cardiovascular risk.
Run for the Heartline exists to turn awareness into action. Funds raised from this event support education about the signs, risks, and emergency symptoms of aortic dissection, encourage at-risk families to seek appropriate screening, and help advance research and advocacy so that more people receive timely diagnosis and care. By running, walking, volunteering, or donating, you honor those we have lost, stand with those living with aortic disease today, and help ensure more lives are saved through awareness and action.

In a time of growing hate and division, join Rekindle for our first-ever Walk for Unity—a one-mile walk and 5K race that turns hope into movement. This is more than a finish line: it’s a public, joyful statement that we choose relationship, courage, and community over polarization and dissension. Rekindle is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded and co-led by Black and Jewish leaders, built to strengthen trust across difference through open dialogue and face-to-face connection. From our base in Cleveland, our work has reached 20+ cities nationwide, with Fellows reporting measurable growth in their readiness to address hate and build bridges in real life.
Whether you’re walking with your family, running with friends, or showing up with your congregation, workplace, or neighborhood group, you’ll be part of something momentous: Cleveland’s community coming together across lines of race and faith—visible, united, and moving forward together.
Walk. Run. Bring someone new. Let’s show the world what unity looks like.
