Event Overview
The Emerald Miles 5K Run/Walk takes place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati, Ohio. The event is an annual fundraiser for the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio, held in memory of Dennis Stemler and everyone living with seizures.
Distances & Registration
The event features a single 5K distance for running and walking. Registration categories are:
- Adult Individual 5k (13 and older)

Registration fees increase after March 13, 2026, and a $5 fee is added to select an event shirt. Children 2 and under in strollers participate for free but do not receive a shirt, bib, or award. A program allows participants to earn money back on their registration fee by referring others to the event.
