About this race

JOIN US FOR THE 24th ANNUAL CLEVELAND HEROES RUN ON
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2026

Cleveland Heroes Run takes participants on either a 5-mile run or 2-mile
run/walk through the local community. Each person sets his or her own pace
and everyone has won before the event has even begun.

course will run through the Cleveland Metro parks. The 2-mile run/walk will
be on Rocky River Drive.

There is also a kids-only race for children 7 years old and younger which

race, no entry fee applies. We want everyone to get involved in this
