Sancta Clara Monastery Nun Run

The Sancta Clara Monastery Nun Run is an annual event held in Canton, Ohio, featuring a 5K run/walk and a free 100-yard kids fun run. The 5K course winds through nearby streets, the Middlebranch trail, and the monastery grounds, where participants are cheered on by nuns. The event welcomes strollers and offers a shirt-only option for supporters who do not run.

Following the race, an awards ceremony with refreshments takes place at St. George's reception hall. All proceeds support the Sancta Clara Monastery and its renovations.

Registration is limited to 300 participants due to fire code and parking restrictions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
