Run Through History 5K

The Run Through History is an annual event held at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The event features a course that leads participants through the grounds of a garden cemetery, characterized by winding roads and hills. This edition marks the 15th year of the event, offering a morning of physical activity within a historic setting.

The event offers two distinct distances:

  • 2 Miles (Walk/Run)

Participants in the 5K race receive a finisher medal, and additional medals are awarded to the top finishers across various age groups. Registered participants for both the 5K and the 2 Mile event receive an event shirt and access to refreshments. Children aged 10 and under are permitted to participate at no cost, though registration is required. The event also features special prizes and a post-race medal ceremony for the running event.

Registration fees vary by event type and period, with early registration options available. The courses are set entirely within the cemetery grounds, starting and ending near Euclid Avenue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
