Cleveland Diaper Dash 5K Run & Walk is a running race on September 19, 2026 in Highland Hills, OH, with an entry fee of $35.
From the Organizer
Join us for the inaugural Cleveland Diaper Dash 5K Run & Walk, a family-friendly event benefiting the Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland during National Diaper Need Awareness Week.
Whether you're an experienced runner or a casual walker every step you take helps raise awareness and support for local families experiencing diaper need.
Diapers are a basic necessity, yet they are not covered by government assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC. As a result, many families struggle to afford an adequate supply, often making impossible choices between purchasing diapers and paying for other essentials like food, housing, or utilities.
The Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland works to ensure that children, seniors, and individuals experiencing hygiene poverty have access to the essential products they need to live with health, dignity, and confidence. Proceeds from the Cleveland Diaper Dash will help provide diapers, period supplies, and other hygiene essentials to families throughout Greater Cleveland.
Bring your family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, or form a team to help make a difference. Together, we can turn every mile into meaningful impact for our community.
