Ohio's Finest Five Miler

July 15, 2012

Two changes are announced for this years jog. First, on line registration will be done through active.com Secondly, the walk will be a FUN-WALK . The walk will still be timed and results will be published in the paper as usual. There will be no awards. This decision was made because we do not have the resources to watch for violators of the rules. So it was decided that it will be for FUN and charity.

The event was sponsored by Lake Health. This year we had 1,265 participants. It was extremely hot, which may be why numbers were down.  The race started in 1977 with 437 entrants and had the largest turnout in 1991 with 1696 runners . The course is one of the main reasons for the Jog's notoriety. It is generally considered to be flat, fast and accurate. National age-group, as well as hundreds of personal records, have been set on its friendly confines. Conversely the Jog can be one tough lady and it is prudent to accord the course the respect she deserves. Proceeds from the race will be donated to The News-Herald's Newspaper in Education program throughout Lake,Geauga,Ashtabula and portions of Cuyahoga counties. Your donation provides newspapers for the classrooms.
