Cleveland Heroes Run

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.

Both races start and finish at the Saint Joseph Academy in Cleveland. The 5-mile
course will run through the Cleveland Metro parks. The 2-mile run/walk will
be on Rocky River Drive.

Kids-Only Race

There is also a kids-only race for children 7 years old and younger which
begins after the 5-mile race. Although registration is required for the kids
race, no entry fee applies. We want everyone to get involved in this
great event!

presented at the end of the races to the top three finishing male and female
