From the Race Organizer
The purpose of the “Celebrating 65 Years: Cardinal Stritch 5K & Kids Fun Run” is to bring the Cardinal Stritch community together to invest in the future of student athletics, school pride, and Catholic education. This race is more than a fundraiser. It is a community-driven effort to improve athletic facilities for current and future students. Funds raised through sponsorships and participation will help address major facility needs, including the lack of a football field, softball field, and modern track facilities. The event was created with the vision of becoming an annual tradition that strengthens Cardinal Stritch’s identity, supports student athletes, and helps retain students who may otherwise leave for schools with stronger athletic programs. By improving facilities, Cardinal Stritch hopes to create more opportunities for students to grow in athletics, leadership, faith, and community involvement. At its core, the race celebrates 65 years of Cardinal Stritch while building momentum for the next generation. It reflects the school’s commitment to faith, community, excellence, and long-term investment in its students.

Course & Travel Notes

The Cardinal Stritch 5K and Kids Fun Run takes place on October 3rd, 2026, in Oregon, Ohio, with an early 9:30 AM start, so you'll want to get there with time to spare since sunrise won't be until 7:33 AM. Fly into Toledo Express Airport, which is just 17.7 miles away, and you'll be set for a pretty straightforward drive to the venue. Early October in this area typically sees highs around 64°F and lows near 45°F, with about a third of days getting some rain, so pack layers and maybe a light rain jacket to be safe. The race sits at a modest 607-foot elevation, so it should feel pretty accessible whether you're running the 5K or bringing the kids out for the fun run.
