UACA Memorial Day Run
The UACA Memorial Day Run is scheduled for May 25, 2026 in Upper Arlington, Columbus, Ohio. This is the 54th running of the event. The courses pass through the crowd-filled and fast streets of Upper Arlington.
Distances offered include:
- 1 Mile
- 5K
- 5 Mile (approximately 4.9 miles)
All proceeds benefit the charitable functions of the UACA. Participants receive an official UACA Memorial Day Run event shirt and an official finisher’s medal. Awards are presented to top finishers of the 5K and 5 Mile races after the event.
Event incentives include team and youth awards. The top two teams with the largest number of registered racers earn a single fast-pass to skip the line at UACA’s Golden Bear Scare at Smith’s Park in October; one pass is to be used by the team. In the 5K, the first-place boy and girl age ten and under each receive a guaranteed registration spot for UACA’s Christmas in the Park in December.
The event location is listed as Upper Arlington Fire Station #72, 3861 Reed Rd, Columbus, OH 43220. The description above summarizes the event format, prizes, and beneficiary purpose. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
