Lest we Forget! Run to the Wall was established to memorialize all military service personnel, past, present, and future. Past participants told us, we have a challenging “hilly” course but that they look forward to coming back year after year. No matter what your athletic ability we are confident that you will be able to complete the course. Many use our 10K course to prepare for the Akron Marathon. Run to the Wall is a race that brings the community together to commemorate all service members, especially those who gave the most precious gift, one that we can never repay ~ their life.
Together, we can make a difference and truly honor, remember, and celebrate all of our military service members.
All proceeds for this event go to support the Ohio Veterans’ Memorial Park! Donations can also be given by going to the fundraiser page, donations can also be made through the registration process.
NO REFUNDS and/or REIMBURSEMENTS.
