Choose your Adventure:
1 Mile FunRun or Walk* – Tour the neighborhood around EDWINS in Cleveland Heights with this beginner road course. This race plays it safe sticking to neighborhood sidewalks. Stroller and family-friendly.
5K GRIND Road and Trail Run – Can you handle the toughest race in Ohio? This race starts and ends at our restaurant in Cleveland Heights then continues to a course unlike any other. Off-road. Through the water. Uphill. Through rocky, unbalanced terrain. Participants will experience a small amount of road running, but most of this course is a trail run that includes water crossings and steep skinny trails through Doan Creek.
*Both courses utilize public sidewalks and paths open to the public. There are also driveways and cars so please be aware of your surroundings.*
Every day men and women at EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute grind it out to get a second chance after incarceration. Compete in our 10th annual EDWINS Run for Re-Entry, to show returning citizens that YOU support their right to fair and equal futures. Proceeds to benefit EDWINS!
See you on the trails!
