Run for Caitlin 5K & 3K

The Run for Caitlin 5K & 3K, set for Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Canfield, OH, offers a truly meaningful race experience for runners of all abilities. Now in its 13th year, this cherished event celebrates the life and passion for running of Caitlin Yager, a dedicated athlete, student, and humanitarian who passed away at just 19 years old in 2013. Participants can choose between certified 5K and 3K courses, both starting and finishing at Canfield High School, located at 100 Cardinal Drive. Typical race day conditions in late July feature comfortable lows around 60F, highs around 84F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing a generally pleasant atmosphere for a summer run.

Runners can anticipate a vibrant race day, beginning with packet pickup options the day before at Second Sole in Boardman or on race morning at Canfield High School before the 9:00 AM start. Your registration supports a noble cause, as all proceeds benefit Run for Caitlin Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to awarding scholarships to deserving students. Beyond the satisfaction of contributing to a scholarship fund, participants will receive a unique finisher medal, a race swag bag, tickets for a basket raffle, and enjoy refreshments and a DJ-fueled atmosphere. Professionally chip-timed results by GCXC Racing - Youngstown will ensure an accurate finish for all, with special commemorative awards for the top three male and female finishers in both the 3K and 5K, as well as age group awards for the 5K.
