Muddy Paws 5 and 10 Miler Peninsula, OH   Jun 13, 2026

Get ready for an exhilarating adventure at the Muddy Paws 5K, 5 Mile & 10 Mile trail race, set among the trails of the picturesque Kendall Lake area of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Lace up your shoes and prepare to tackle one loop for the 5 miler, or challenge yourself with two loops for the 10 miler. Whether you walk or run, this race has an option perfectly suited to your pace. 

Since its inception in 2005 by WRR partner Vince Rucci, Muddy Paws has become a beloved event. Vince’s passion for running with his rescue dogs inspired this race, and it’s only fitting that it supports the Humane Society of Summit County. Make sure to swing by their adoption vehicle on race day – you might just discover a new trail partner to join you on future adventures!
