Get ready for an exhilarating adventure at the Muddy Paws 5K, 5 Mile, and 10 Mile Trail Race taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the stunning Peninsula area of Summit County, Ohio. This exciting event, nestled in the picturesque Kendall Lake area of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, invites participants of all abilities to challenge themselves and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you're eager to tackle the newly introduced 5K, take on one loop for the 5-miler, or push your limits with two loops for the 10-miler, there’s a perfect distance for everyone.

Since its inception in 2005, the Muddy Paws race has captured the hearts of the community, inspired by a love for running with rescue dogs. This year, attendees will not only have the chance to participate in a fun and rewarding race but also support a wonderful cause, as proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Summit County. Don’t forget to visit their adoption vehicle on race day—you might just find your new best friend to accompany you on future trail adventures! Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and furry friends in the beautiful outdoors!
