ABOUT THE EVENT

Lace up your running shoes, grab your best costume, and be part of one of Cleveland’s favorite fall running events! 
The Halloween Run for Justice at Edgewater Park is a Cleveland charity run welcoming runners, walkers, families, kids, and pets for a fun day that gives back to the community. Whether you’re racing, jogging, or strolling in costume, everyone is welcome. Costumes are strongly encouraged, with prizes for some of the best looks of the day.
After the race, stick around for a festive after-party with family-friendly games, DJ Brad Wolfe, food trucks, crafts, and other exciting activities! More than just a Cleveland Halloween Run, proceeds support the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation’s work to expand access to justice in Cleveland, empower local youth, and strengthen the Greater Cleveland community. Open to the public, it’s a great way to get active, run for justice, give back to Cleveland, and enjoy one of the city’s most unique family-friendly Cleveland events this fall.
The Halloween Run has always been open to the public and we are thrilled to be named one of "7 Unique Things to Do in Cleveland, You Won’t Want to Miss" by Apartment Guide. Join us!

WHY WE RUN

Proceeds from the Halloween Run for Justice support the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation’s community programs focused on expanding access to justice, empowering youth, and building a more equitable Cleveland. Every step you take helps make justice accessible for all.
