Dillon's Place 5k

Dillon's Place 5k is held in Westlake, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, on November 8, 2026. The 5K run and walk starts at 9:00 a.m. and suits every level of fitness, and a Half-Murph event, listed at one mile, follows at 10:30 a.m. Every entrant receives a custom medal and an event shirt, with additional medals for the top finishers and for the winners of each age group.

Entering both events makes for an unusual morning: race the 5K, recover for an hour, then head back out for the second event. Treat the 5K as the priority if you want a time, and go into the Half-Murph accepting that your legs will already be tired. Runners doing only the 5K need very little specific preparation, though a few weeks of strides at the end of easy runs will sharpen the finish.
