UACA Memorial Day Run
About this race
Please join us for the 54th running of the UACA Memorial Day Run on Monday, May 25, 2026. This year, we are bringing back an option for a 5-mile run (well, almost, at 4.9 miles). There will still be the same 5K and 1-mile courses everyone has enjoyed the last few years. The courses race through the crowd filled and fast streets of Upper Arlington providing a great experience for serious and casual runners alike. All proceeds will benefit the charitable functions of the UACA.
Participants will receive an official UACA Memorial Day Run event shirt and an official finisher’s Medal. Awards given to the top finishers of the 5K and 5Mile following the race.
NEW!! The top TWO TEAMS with the largest number of registered racers will win a fast-pass to skip the line for UACA’s Golden Bear Scare at Smith’s Park this October! (one pass to be used as a team)
NEW!! The first-place boy and girl age 10 and under to finish the 5K will each receive a guaranteed registration spot for UACA’s Christmas in the Park this December!
We look forward to another great Memorial Day celebration in Upper Arlington!
