Friends of City Dogs Cleveland 5K
The Friends of City Dogs Cleveland 5K is a fundraising athletic event held at Edgewater Park, specifically at Kite Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The event supports Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland, an organization that provides financial assistance for medical care, enrichment, and adoption programs for animals at Cleveland Animal Care and Control. Participants can choose between several event formats to support the cause.
The available distances for in person participation include:
- 3.1 Miles (5k)
- 1 Mile
For those attending in person at the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway location, the event is for humans only. Participants who prefer to run with their dogs may join through the virtual participation options, which include a 5k, 1-mile, or a 0.0 category. Individuals who register by May 10, 2026, receive a guaranteed soft-fit unisex t-shirt and a finisher medal. Registration also includes a reusable bag.
The event features a fundraising incentive where participants who reach a specific goal may receive a partial refund of their registration fee. Awards are presented to top finishers as they complete the course. Packet pick-up is available on the morning of the event, and participants who have selected shipping options receive their materials the week prior to the race.
