The 14th Annual Run Through History is a fun-filled morning of activities at Lake View Cemetery. The event includes a 5K Race (8:50 am) and a 2-mile Walk/Run (9:00 am). Each course takes participants through the picturesque garden cemetery, with its challenging hills and winding roads.

PACKET PICK UP

We will have t-shirts and bibs available for pick up on Friday, 9.19.2025, from 3 PM - 6 PM (Daffodil Hall), Saturday, 9.20.2025, from 10 AM - 12 PM (Daffodil Hall), and of course, the morning of the race (at the race check-in area).

Finding Daffodil Hall:

From the Mayfield gate, turn to your right and follow the yellow line. The road will head down a hill. At the four-way stop, the stone building on the corner is Daffodil Hall.

From the Euclid gate, follow the yellow line to your left. Head past Wade Chapel. You will come to the four-way stop and Daffodil Hall will be on your left.

DO NOT FOLLOW THE SIGNS FOR GCXC. THOSE ARE FOR THE RACE COURSE, NOT PACKET PICK-UP.

Make your miles matter. Create or join a team to honor someone special — a parent, a sibling, a friend, a hero. Wear their name, carry their memory, and celebrate their life with every step.
