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!
