Registration is NOW OPEN for the seventh annual Craig Kleiman Run/Walk on Labor Day morning, September 7th.

Take advantage of early bird pricing by registering before July 15th. Celebrate the life of Craig Kleiman and run or walk to support local programs for children with autism and other special needs this Labor Day weekend with the seventh annual Craig Kleiman Run/Walk. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Central Ohio chapter of Autism Speaks, the unique inclusion summer camp program for children with special needs at the Columbus JCC and Bexley Recreation & Parks, to support its ongoing efforts to provide improved access for children/families with special needs.

Now in its seventh year, the race, which takes place on a flat, fast race course along the beautiful tree-lined streets of North Bexley, has become a Labor Day fixture for many in the Bexley community, as well as for runners and walkers throughout central Ohio. So grab your sneakers and join us on September 7th for another great event! The 5K will start at 9 AM, and like last year, we are also offering a kids run (8:45 AM) prior to the 5K for children ages 8 and under. There also will be virtual 5K and kids run options as well for anyone who is unable to join us on Labor Day. Thank you so much for your support and we are looking forward to another great Labor Day weekend!
