THE BIG RUN 216
About this race
Ready, set, CELEBRATE!
Every runner’s favorite holiday—Global Running Day—is Wednesday, June 3, and we’re celebrating the best way we know how: bringing all of Cleveland together for a 5K fun run/walk followed by an EPIC afterparty.
Generously sponsored by Brooks, this high-energy evening promises miles of smiles, high-fives, good vibes, and great company. BUT, the celebration doesn’t stop there—this year’s event also marks Fleet Feet’s 50th anniversary, making it an even bigger reason to lace up and join the party.
Come for the run (or walk), stay for the sunset, post-run treats, music, and plenty of photo ops with your running crew.
Register for The Big Run and let the good times roll!
