The Run to Defeat ALS starts at 8:00 AM on May 25, 2026, at Strasburg Franklin Park in Strasburg, Ohio, giving you a reasonable morning window to arrive and settle in before racing. The event features a 5K distance, with entry fees ranging from $35 to $45. If you're traveling to compete, plan for an early departure to account for parking and packet pickup. Strasburg is a small village in northeast Ohio, so consider lodging options in nearby larger towns with more hotel availability if Strasburg itself has limited accommodations. The race benefits ALS research and support, making it a meaningful event for runners looking to contribute to the cause while completing their spring race schedule.
