Fools

Get ready for an exhilarating day of fun and fitness at the Fools event on Saturday, May 24, 2025, set against the stunning backdrop of the Peninsula in Summit at Camp Manatoc! This unique race invites runners and hikers to tackle a scenic 5k loop course, where they can choose to complete as many loops as they desire within 2, 4, or 8 hours. Participants in the 8-hour event have the option to go solo or team up in a 4-person relay, making it perfect for both individual athletes and those looking to share the experience with friends.

As you navigate the well-maintained, non-technical trails surrounded by the natural beauty of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, you'll enjoy the camaraderie of fellow competitors and the support of fully stocked aid stations at each loop. Plus, there's plenty of space for family and friends to cheer you on, making it a festive atmosphere for everyone involved. Whether you're using this race as a warm-up for the Burning River Endurance Run & Relay or simply looking for a fun way to spend Memorial Day weekend, the Fools event promises an unforgettable experience filled with adventure and community spirit!
