Lace up for a race with heart at the 13th annual Run for Caitlin 5K and 3K, taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Canfield, Ohio. This cherished event, starting and finishing at Canfield High School at 100 Cardinal Drive, celebrates the life and running passion of Caitlin Yager, a dedicated student and athlete.
