Hathaway Brown's Carnival 5K and Fun Run

Hathaway Brown's Carnival 5K and Fun Run is held in Shaker Heights, Ohio, on April 18, 2027. The program lists one timed format, a 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 AM, open to runners and to walkers who would rather cover the distance at their own pace.

The 9:00 AM gun is late enough that you can eat a light breakfast two hours out and still warm up properly. If this is your first 5K, four to six weeks of running three times a week will get you to the line ready; if you have raced before, treat the run/walk field as a reason to line up near the front and settle into your pace within the first quarter mile rather than weaving through traffic.
