  NEW 5k for 2026! Get ready for an exhilarating adventure at the Muddy Paws 5k, 5 Mile & 10 Mile trail race, set among the trails of the picturesque Kendall Lake area of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Lace up your shoes and prepare to tackle the NEW 5k, complete one loop for the 5 miler, or challenge yourself with two loops for the 10 miler. Whether you walk or run, this race has an option perfectly suited to your pace.

  Since its inception in 2005 by WRR partner Vince Rucci, Muddy Paws has become a beloved event. Vince's passion for running with his rescue dogs inspired this race, and it's only fitting that it supports the Humane Society of Summit County. Make sure to swing by their adoption vehicle on race day – you might just discover a new trail partner to join you on future adventures!

  Come join the fun in Cuyahoga Valley National Park! The Fall Running Series consists of weekly fun-themed trail races on Tuesday evenings in October. The series includes awesome swag and five high-energy events with a twist. Each event is held at a different location in the CVNP and is between 3 and 5 miles. To add to the excitement, the twist remains a secret until just before the start of the event. It's a great time of the year to make new friends on the trails!

  All levels of runners and walkers are welcome, and you don't have to be the fastest to win. Bring a flashlight or headlamp if you anticipate walking or running at a more moderate pace. Events are held regardless of weather conditions.
