Cross Country 5K Details

Lace up for a true cross-country adventure. This scenic 5K winds through natural, wooded trails that weave in and out of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, delivering fresh air, forest views and a satisfying challenge. Runners will tackle rolling hills with a total elevation gain of 112 feet, making this course as rewarding as it is beautiful. All skill levels are welcome, whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying the run at your own pace. The top three finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions and in the boys and girls division (under 16) will receive medals. Due to the terrain and limited accessibility, jogging strollers are not recommended.

1-Mile Kids Dash Details

Get ready to run, cheer and celebrate! Our 1-Mile Kids Dash takes young runners on a fun, flat, all-grass loop around Old Trail School’s athletic fields and solar array. It’s perfect for speedy sprinters, happy joggers and everyone in between. Parents and other adults are welcome to join in on the fun alongside their runners. Jogging strollers are welcome, and every child ages 4 and up will receive a finisher medal.

Project Outrun is back for year five of the "Faster Every Day" Festival, 5k, & Fun Run in beautiful Cuyahoga Falls! Project Outrun is a Northeast Ohio based nonprofit that supports and empowers kids and families as they battle pediatric cancer. With the help of custom shoes, plus Project Outrun signature swag, we join teams in the fight and provide New Shoe Smiles, Medal Moments, and Finish Line Feelings to our Outrun families. So come join our Super Fast Family for a day full of fun to get "Faster Every Day" at either our "Outrun Aiman" 5k run/walk, or "I'm not sick but my shoes are" Kids' Sprint, - all while helping to push our Project Outrun mission and message forward. Because when kids outrun cancer, it helps to have the right shoes!
