Selfless Elf 5K

Dress in your favorite, festive holiday-themed costume or running gear and join us for the 12th annual Selfless Elf 5k run/walk benefiting the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. Enjoy a morning of fun for the entire family as we raise funds and awareness for people struggling with hunger in our community.

Race Details
