Collin Cares Glow with the Flow Twilight Run 5K

Get ready to light up the night at the Collin Cares Glow with the Flow Twilight Run 5K, a truly unique and vibrant evening event taking place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in Medina, Ohio. This magical 5K run/walk, alongside a 1-mile Kids Run/Walk, transforms Root Middle School into a glowing wonderland. The course is brilliantly illuminated with LED lights, glow sticks, and colorful balloons, all set to heart-pumping music under a giant disco ball, promising an unforgettable experience for all ages and paces. Participants receive glow-in-the-dark items and a race t-shirt to enhance the festive atmosphere.

Beyond the dazzling lights and upbeat music, this event carries a profound mission. All proceeds benefit Collin Cares Cure Cancer, a non-profit established in 2016 by Collin Kiousis, who courageously battled cancer himself. The foundation embodies Collin's powerful mantra, "Defy the Hand You're Dealt," and has contributed over $400,000 to families across Northeast Ohio facing cancer. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 82F and lows around 61F, and a 14% chance of precipitation, making for a pleasant twilight run.

Join a supportive community at Root Middle School, 333 W. Sturbridge, Medina, OH, and contribute to a vital cause while enjoying a fun-filled course. Whether you're chasing a personal best or walking with friends and family, every step taken helps provide much-needed assistance to those impacted by cancer. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in age groups, with ribbons for all Kids Fun Run/Walk participants, celebrating achievements big and small.
