Head for the Hills 5 K and Hike
October 7, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am
$30 – $35
On Saturday, October 7th, join us in the heart of the Chagrin River Valley for Head For The Hills! 2023.
Registration fees and all donations benefit the non-profit Moreland Hills Parks Commission. This annual event provides the Parks Commission with its primary source of funds. The Parks Commission’s mission is to support preservation, improvements, and enjoyment of our local parks for all. Moreland Hills is home to many of the area’s most prized and pristine green spaces. These include the beautiful 142-acre Forest Ridge Preserve and the Lang Pavilion (where this event will take place), sections of Cleveland Metroparks South Chagrin Reservation, U.S. President James A. Garfield’s cabin and birth site, and more.
We are proud of our scenic and competitive 5K through the valley, now part of the Hermes Road Race Series. But you don’t have to be a runner to enjoy this event! Experience the trails of Forest Ridge Preserve on our family-friendly hike — take your time to enjoy these beautiful woodlands on a route that will be fun and interesting for kids of all ages!
All registrants for the 5K and the hike receive a special “Head For The Hills! 2023” commemorative shirt and chances for other great giveaways. For everyone, there will be free kids activities and crafts, a silent auction where you can bid on some fantastic gifts and experiences, and more.
Enjoy great breakfast items and coffee from Blaze N’ Good Food (available for purchase starting 8AM).
Take advantage of stretching and massage services from Equestrian Health (from 8:30AM).
Come experience the beauty of the Chagrin River valley while supporting a great local cause at Head For The Hills 2023!
