Brecksville Kiwanis Trick-or-Trot

Brecksville Kiwanis Trick-or-Trot is held in Brecksville, Ohio, on October 24, 2026, with a chip-timed 5K and a one-mile fun run both going off at 8:30 a.m. Finishers receive a medal and refreshments, there are costume contests and age-group awards, and runners who sign up in time get a shirt. Leashed dogs and strollers are welcome, and the morning also includes an awards ceremony, kids' activities and other light-hearted competitions.

The event supports the A Special Wish foundation and Brecksville Kiwanis youth services. Because the two distances start together, decide in advance which one you are running: the mile is a genuine short, sharp effort, while the 5K is long enough to reward a month of consistent running with one faster weekly session. If you are bringing a stroller or a dog, line up toward the back so you are not weaving through the field in the opening quarter-mile.
