Collin Cares Glow with the Flow Twilight Run 5K / Walk and Kids Run / Walk

Prepare for an evening of illuminated fun and heartfelt community at the Collin Cares Glow with the Flow Twilight Run 5K / Walk and Kids Run / Walk, taking place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in Medina, OH. This magical twilight event transforms Root Middle School into a vibrant wonderland, where the course is brightly lit with LED lights, glow sticks, and colorful balloons, all set to heart-pumping music under a giant disco ball. It's more than just a race; it's a charity event dedicated to supporting Collin Cares Cure Cancer, a non-profit established in honor of Collin Kiousis to assist families battling cancer in Northeast Ohio.

Participants can choose between the 5K run/walk or the shorter 1-Mile Kids Run/Walk, making it a perfect outing for all ages and fitness levels. This "fun-filled course" promises an unforgettable experience rather than challenging terrain, focusing on the festive atmosphere. Runners will receive glow-in-the-dark items to wear during the race, along with a commemorative race t-shirt, though early registration is advised to guarantee shirt availability. Typical race day conditions in early August in Medina, OH, usually see comfortable highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal twilight running weather. Top finishers in various age groups will be recognized with awards, and all Kids Fun Run/Walk participants will receive ribbons.
