About the 3rd Annual Cleveland, OH Ostomy 5k
The course runs through Acacia Reservation, part of Cleveland Metroparks, so expect wooded surroundings and park trails rather than city streets. The race is tied to Ostomy Awareness Day, and the crowd reflects that, drawing people who are there for the cause as much as the running. It has the feel of a purpose-driven morning in a genuinely pretty setting.
Runners can form or join a group when they register, which seems to be a big part of how people experience the day. There is also a fundraising component built into the event, with registration refunds available for those who hit certain fundraising thresholds. Packet pickup timing had not been announced at the time this was written, so keep an eye on the organizer's communications closer to race day.
