Craig Kleiman 5K Run/Walk

Celebrate the life of Craig Kleiman and run or walk to support local programs for children with autism and other special needs this Labor Day weekend with the Craig Kleiman 5K Run/Walk. This race will be held in memory of Craig, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 19, 2019 - his 40thbirthday. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Central Ohio chapter of Autism Speaks, the unique inclusion summer camp program for children with special needs at the Columbus JCC and Bexley Parks and Recreation’s special needs communication initiatives at the Bexley Pool.
Last year’s run generated much enthusiasm and support and we hope you will join us again for another great event along the beautiful streets of North Bexley! The 5K will start at 9 AM, and like last year, we are also offering a kids run prior to the 5K (8:45 AM) for children ages 8 and under. There also will be virtual 5K and kids run options as well for anyone who is unable to join us in person on Labor Day. Thank you so much for your support and we are looking forward to another great Labor Day weekend!
