Project Outrun "Faster Every Day", 5K & Fun Run

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Project Outrun "Faster Every Day" Festival, 5K & Fun Run, set to inspire on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the scenic heart of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant community festival dedicated to empowering children and families bravely battling pediatric cancer. Participants can choose between the challenging "Outrun Aiman" 5K run/walk or the energetic "I'm Not Sick But My Shoes Are" Kids' Sprint, covering 800 meters, with both events starting and finishing near the Cuyahoga Falls City Offices & Municipal Building at 2310 2nd Street.

This fifth annual event stands as Project Outrun's largest fundraiser, channeling efforts into providing custom shoes and creating unforgettable "New Shoe Smiles, Medal Moments, and Finish Line Feelings" for young warriors. The atmosphere is charged with family fun, offering a festival experience alongside the races. Those participating in the Kids' Sprint even receive a celebratory cake pop. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather as the 5K kicks off at 5:00 PM EDT.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 5K or cheering on the next generation of runners in the Kids' Sprint, every step contributes to a powerful cause. Join the Project Outrun "Faster Every Day" Festival for a day of community spirit, family enjoyment, and the profound satisfaction of helping kids outrun cancer.
