Summit Metro Parks Mother's Day 5K
This event is a chip-timed 5K held at Munroe Falls Metro Park on May 9, 2027. The stroller-friendly asphalt course travels two laps around Munroe Falls Lake and proceeds benefit the Summit Metro Parks Foundation. The course overlays the park entrance and the park gate will close shortly before the race and reopen after participants clear the second lap.
Each paid registration includes a choice of a race t-shirt or a native plant while supplies last; registrations completed by April 5 are most likely to receive the chosen item. The event is held rain or shine. Refunds are available through May 1, 2027.
Packet pickup is available the day before the race at F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm on May 8 and on the morning of race day at the park. Registrations for ages 14 and under are $10 through race day. For ages 15 and older, fees are tiered by date: $20 through January 14, $25 from January 15 through March 14, $30 from March 15 through April 14, and $35 from April 15 through race day. Morning-of registration is allowed online only; no cash is accepted.
The course is not fully ADA-compliant, but wheelchair participants and jogging strollers are welcome; participants planning to use an adaptive device are asked to contact race organizers in advance. Wagons, bikes, scooters, rollerblades, and motorized vehicles are not permitted on the course. Pet spectators on leashes (8-foot max) are allowed off the course. Only registered participants with race bibs are eligible for finisher awards. Age-group awards and engraved brick pavers are given for top finishers across standard age categories.
