Kylie Rose's Run 2026 returns to Copley, Ohio on Sunday, August 30th, celebrating its 12th anniversary in the heart of Northeastern Ohio. The event takes place at Copley High School and surrounds, known for its picturesque setting. Race morning finds participants gathering amidst the lush greenery and familiar streets of this vibrant community, under a clear sky with temperatures around 75°F to 80°F, which is comfortable but slightly warm due to high UV levels. The atmosphere on race day is electric, filled with anticipation as runners prepare for their challenge. This annual run has grown significantly over the years; it started small and now attracts thousands of participants annually. All proceeds benefit patients and families affected by pediatric cancer, supporting Akron Children’s Hospital's Oncology and Hematology Floor research efforts. The event not only raises critical funds but also brings together a community united in support. The race offers distances for all ages, from the 50-yard Hero's Dash to the full marathon. There are five-kilometer options including an adult version priced at $44.79 and one suitable for students or children at $34.09. A competitive 1-mile run is also available with a fee of $23.39, followed by a family fun walk/run that starts earlier.
Logistics for this year’s race are managed through Raceroster, with registration fees varying from $23.39 to $82.23 depending on the chosen distance and option. The virtual run is also available at a fee of $50.14 or more if picking up a shirt. Packet pick-up can be done early on Saturday, August 29th, between 8:30 am and 11:30 am in the parking lot next to Copley High School's newly renovated stadium located at 3807 Ridgewood Rd. Alternatively, you can collect your packet during race day from 2:00 pm until 3:30 p.m. inside the stadium. Participants should arrive with their bibs and timing chip (if applicable) to check in promptly. The start line is set at Copley High School’s main entrance on August 30th, at exactly 4:00 pm for the 5K run followed by the competitive mile race starting at 4:45 pm. This event is worth attending because it supports a critical cause and unites a community in celebration. Join thousands of runners as they come together to support pediatric cancer research and provide comfort to those fighting this battle.
