Organiser's Description

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 sixth annual Craig Kleiman 5K Run/Walk. 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 Recreation & Parks, to support its ongoing efforts to provide improved access for children/families with special needs. Now in its sixth year, the race, which takes place along a flat, fast race course and beautiful streets of North Bexley, has generated much enthusiasm and support, and we hope you will join us this year for another great event! 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!
