SJB Run with Me 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the 12th Annual SJB Run with Me 5K, taking place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in Parma Heights, OH. This cherished community event offers participants the choice of a chip-timed 5K or a delightful 1-mile walk, inviting runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to join. Held in late May, typical race day conditions feature pleasant highs around 76°F and lows around 57°F, with a minimal 17% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal setting for a memorable race.

The scenic routes wind along the picturesque Big Creek Parkway on the MetroParks path, providing a refreshing natural backdrop for your stride. Participants in the 5K will compete for fantastic awards, including recognition for the top male and female overall finishers, as well as the top three in each age group. Beyond the race, the SJB Run with Me 5K is deeply rooted in community spirit, with all proceeds supporting the Ann George Food Pantry in Parma Heights and the St. John Bosco St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, a pre-race pasta dinner catered by Bruno's Ristorante is held on Friday, May 29th, at St. John Bosco Parish, complete with gift baskets and raffles. Runners who register by the specified deadline are guaranteed a commemorative t-shirt. This event, hosted by Peace Racing, promises a fantastic opportunity to engage with the St. John Bosco Parish community, enjoy the great outdoors, and contribute to a worthy cause in the beautiful Cleveland area.
