Ohio (Cleveland Area) SCADaddle 5K Walk & Run for Research

Ohio (Cleveland Area) SCADaddle 5K Walk & Run for Research is held in Macedonia, Ohio, on November 7, 2026, with a 5K (3.1 miles) run or walk starting at 10 a.m. The event raises awareness and research funding for spontaneous coronary artery dissection, a condition that mainly affects women under 50. The course uses the paved paths and wooded trails of Longwood Park, and the morning includes refreshments, vendor booths and age-group awards for the fastest finishers.

Because you can walk or run it, the field spans everything from families out for the morning to runners treating it as a hard effort. If you plan to race, line up near the front so you are not weaving through walkers in the first minute, then settle quickly into an even rhythm. Four weeks of easy running three times a week is plenty of preparation to cover 3.1 miles comfortably.
