From the Organizer
Project Outrun is back for year five of the "Faster Every Day" Festival, 5k, & Fun Run in beautiful Cuyahoga Falls! Project Outrun is a Northeast Ohio based nonprofit that supports and empowers kids and families as they battle pediatric cancer. With the help of custom shoes, plus Project Outrun signature swag, we join teams in the fight and provide New Shoe Smiles, Medal Moments, and Finish Line Feelings to our Outrun families. So come join our Super Fast Family for a day full of fun to get "Faster Every Day" at either our "Outrun Aiman" 5k run/walk, or "I'm not sick but my shoes are" Kids' Sprint, - all while helping to push our Project Outrun mission and message forward. Because when kids outrun cancer, it helps to have the right shoes!
Want to come and enjoy the fun of our "Faster Every Day" Festival, but not necessarily interested in running or walking? Now you can purchase a "Festival Only Ticket!" Click REGISTER NOW from the menu on the left to get your "Festival Only Ticket!"
*Entrance to the "Faster Every Day" Festival is included when you register to run/walk with us in the "Outrun Aiman" 5k or the "I'm Not Sick But My Shoes Are" Kids' Sprint!
All children that participate in the "I'm Not Sick But My Shoes Are" Kids' Sprint will receive a cake pop provided and sponsored by Daisy Pops Cake Pops!
Outrun Families Run For FREE!

Virtual:
If you register to participate virtually, you can run/jog/walk at your convenience! If you register as a virtual runner, your time will not be factored into the in-person race day timing. Items will be mailed after the event for an additional $5. Our Project Outrun Team will mail your race day swag as soon as we possibly can, however, this will be dependent upon inventory and if we have to order more "race day swag" post-race day!
