Lorain County Relay for Life 5K/1Mile
The Lorain County Relay for Life 5K/1Mile takes place on September 26, 2026 in Elyria, Ohio, at Lorain County Community College. The event combines timed and non-timed running options with community activities and fundraising for the American Cancer Society.
Event distances include:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk
- Kids' Run
The course is described as fast and flat. Course maps are provided and the distances were measured; map distances are reported as GPS estimates.
The day includes a range of accompanying activities and amenities: a classic car show, a kids play zone with bounce houses and inflatables, a kids car show and touch-a-truck feature, food trucks, raffles, and a silent auction. The schedule also notes opening ceremonies, a survivor lunch, and an evening luminaria portion of the Relay activities.
All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society; the event lists a fundraising goal of $85,000. Participant benefits include a t-shirt and medal for 5K and 1 Mile participants, a medal for kids' sprint participants, awards for top overall finishers in the 5K (male and female) and awards for top finishers in each age group.
