Lace up for a scenic 5K journey through Akron's gorgeous woodlands, where you'll tackle rolling hills with 112 feet of elevation gain while running on cross-country trails that weave through and around Cuyahoga Valley National Park—a great option for runners of all levels seeking a personal best or a leisurely adventure. Top three finishers in men's, women's, boys (under 16), and girls (under 16) categories earn medals, though jogging strollers aren't ideal for these terrain conditions. Younger runners can enjoy the 1-Mile Kids Dash, a flat, all-grass loop around Old Trail School's athletic fields perfect for ages 4 and up, where every child receives a medal and jogging strollers are welcome.
