Every day men and women at EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute grind it out to get a
second chance after incarceration. Compete in our 10th annual EDWINS Run for Re-Entry, to
show returning citizens that you support their right to fair and equal futures.
Mile Fun Run or Walk* - Tour the neighborhood around EDWINS with this beginner road
course. This mile course plays it safe sticking to neighborhood sidewalks. Stroller and
family-friendly!
Trail Run Grind*- Can you handle the toughest race in Ohio? This race starts
and ends at the new Edwins location in Cleveland Heights with a course unlike any other. Off-road. Through the water. Uphill.
Through rocky, unbalanced terrain. Participants will experience a small amount of road running,
but most of this course is a trail run that includes water crossings and steep skinny trails through
Doan Creek.
*Both courses utilize public sidewalks and paths open to the public. There are also driveways
and cars, so please be aware of your surroundings. Know the course before you arrive.*
