Spring in the Park Women's 10k/5k
The Spring in the Park Women's 10k/5k is a women's-only event taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026. The runs are held on a course through Cleveland Metroparks, starting and finishing at the South Mastick Picnic Area in Fairview Park, Ohio.
The event offers several distances:
- 10k Run/Walk
- 5k Run/Walk
- 5k Ruck (Includes Patch)
- 1 Mile Run/Walk
The races are chip-timed. The 1-mile event starts first, followed by a common start for the 10k and 5k. There is an optional early start for walkers in the 10k. The event raises awareness for the link between staying active and offsetting dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
Participants receive a finisher medal featuring a 2026 flower, a winter running beanie (with an option to upgrade to a custom rain jacket), and custom 2026 swag. There is finish line food and drink, and runner photos are taken.
Gift card prizes are awarded to top finishers in the 10k and 5k runs. The 5k Ruck event has its own competitive division and awards. There is a participant raffle and a wine area opens after the race. Packet pickup is available on the Friday before the event at Second Sole in Lakewood and on race morning at the picnic shelter.
Registration offers a special price for runners aged 18 and under. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
