Sweaty YETI Charger Dash

Lace up for the Sweaty YETI Charger Dash on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in Berea, Ohio, a vibrant community event offering both a 5K and a 1 Mile distance. This inclusive race welcomes participants of all abilities, including those with jogging strollers, hand cycles, and wheelchairs, ensuring everyone can join the fun. More than just a race, the Sweaty YETI Charger Dash is a high-energy fundraiser, with all proceeds directly benefiting Youth Challenge, an inspiring organization dedicated to connecting young people with physical disabilities and their teen volunteers through adaptive sports, recreation, and leadership activities.

The action kicks off at 9:00 AM from the St. Mary Berea Fr. Garrity Center, located at 250 Kraft Street, which also serves as the hub for registration and packet pickup starting at 7:30 AM. Typically, race day conditions in late May in Berea feature comfortable highs around 76°F and lows around 57°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather. Participants in the 5K will enjoy chip-timing for their efforts, while the 1 Mile race offers an untimed option perfect for a more relaxed experience.

Runners can anticipate a rewarding experience, complete with fantastic post-race refreshments and a delicious pancake breakfast to refuel after crossing the finish line. Adding to the excitement, all registered participants aged 7 and older will receive a stylish Sweaty YETI t-shirt, and younger dashers in grades 8 and below will be delighted with a plush YETI toy. The event also promises door prizes and goodie bags for kids, further enhancing the festive and community-focused atmosphere.
