UC 5K and 1 Mile Walk 2026

The UC 5K and 1 Mile Walk begins and ends at the Stano Athletic Center on the Ursuline College campus in Pepper Pike, Ohio. This road event features a 5K run, a 1-mile walk/run, and a three-person relay for the 5K, all commencing in the morning. The race is also included in the Cleveland Road Race Series. The course winds through Pepper Pike, Ursuline College, and Merici Crossings, featuring gradual inclines instead of a flat path. The event benefits Ursuline’s cross country and track and field program, with funds directed toward the student-athlete experience. Following the race, attendees are welcome to remain on campus for the Ursuline Fall Festival, offering food trucks, music, and a post-race gathering on the main quad.
