Wigs for Kids 5K Run and 1-Mile Fun Walk

The 13th annual national Wigs for Kids Day is taking place on July 20, 2019

The 13th annual national Wigs for Kids Day is taking place on July 20, 2019. To celebrate the day locally, Wigs for Kids is hosting its 5K run and 1-mile fun walk at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and encouraging runners nationwide to run virtually and sponsor the race.

As the first and oldest hair donation organization in the country, Wigs for Kids has served thousands of children in the United States. Its hair pieces are hand-made to fit each child perfectly, so they will stay in place even when a child is running or playing sports.

Wigs for Kids Day 5K run and 1-mile fun walk is expected to host hundreds of runners and walkers in Cleveland, OH, and thousands of runners virtually. It will begin at 7:00 AM with registration, and the organization expects hundreds of cut-a-thons throughout the entire county and live on stage at the race. All race participants will receive an event t-shirt, have access to family-friendly activities at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Rainforest.

The 5K run and 1-mile walk is $35.
