On September 27, 2026, the Tom Madzy 5K & Dog Walk takes place in Berea, Ohio at Roehm Athletic Complex. Despite its name, this event offers a 1-mile distance rather than the traditional 5K length. The race starts at 9:00 AM and welcomes both runners and walkers. Entry fees range from $20 to $30, making it an affordable local option for athletes in the area. The 1-mile format suits those seeking a shorter effort or training run before a larger race, as well as recreational participants looking for a low-key community event.
