Lorain County Relay for Life
The Lorain County Relay for Life features several athletic events held at the Lorain County Community College campus in Elyria, Ohio. Participants can choose from different distances and formats on a course described as fast and flat. The event supports the American Cancer Society and aims to raise funds for cancer research and patient support.
The available distances include:
- 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles)
- 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk
- Kids' Run
Participants in the 5K and 1 Mile events receive a t-shirt and a medal, while those in the Kids' Run receive a medal. Specialized awards, such as sunglasses and cooler bags, are provided for top finishers and age group winners in the 5K race. Registration for all events is conducted online, and there are options for teams of four to register together under a prepaid package.
Beyond the races, the venue hosts several community activities throughout the day. These include a classic car show, a Kids Fest featuring inflatables and a touch-a-truck display, and various food trucks. The event also incorporates a silent auction, raffles, and ceremonial elements such as a survivor lunch and a luminaria ceremony. All courses are measured, and parking is available near the start and finish lines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
