Formerly Known as Race the River

Join us next year! Our 15th annual 1-mile/5K/10K race and fun-run is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, August 15, 2027, at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. 

Outrace Epilepsy! is a family friendly event to raise epilepsy awareness and funds for our free services. Many participants form teams and collect donations in honor of a loved one with epilepsy. We also encourage you to wear purple, the official color of epilepsy awareness!

Registration includes event swag, water on and off the course, and free admission to the zoo after the event! We will present medals to the top finishers overall and by age and gender. The top fundraising team will also be recognized and presented an award at the end of the event.
