Spring Thaw 10 Miler and 5K

The Spring Thaw 10 Miler and 5K takes place in Mentor, Ohio, at Veterans Memorial Park. This event offers two distinct road running distances for participants to choose from:

  • 10 Miles: A route starting and finishing at Lake Metroparks Veterans Park that travels through local neighborhoods and the Mentor Lagoons area.
  • 5K: A shorter course that starts and finishes entirely within the boundaries of Veterans Park.

Registration for the event includes several items for participants, such as a race T-shirt and a finisher medal. During the race, runners have access to aid-station support positioned along the course. The organizers provide awards for top overall finishers as well as specific age group awards.

Logistics for the event include multiple opportunities for packet collection. Participants can pick up their materials the day before the race at Second Sole Mentor or on the morning of the event at the park. Registration for both distances opens in December and remains available until early March. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
