 Flap Jack & Jill 5k/15k benefiting the Conservancy for CVNP
Saturday, May 3rd, Stanford House
Running this flat and fast course through the CVNP is a sweet (literally) way to show your support for the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Play Pancake Trivia and the Maple Syrup Memory game prior to the race.  A fun way to learn Jeopardy-worthy flap jack facts and win tasty prizes!
Register for the race, the breakfast, or better yet – both!

In the Spotlight – A 5k with Baseball, Beer, Food & Family Friendly Fun!
