Packet Pick-Up
You can pick up your race packet at Flannery Gymnasium at Summit Country Day School on Thursday (6/19) or Friday (6/20) between 10 AM and 1 PM. Signs will point you in the right direction if you aren't familiar with the campus.
Summit Country Day address: 2161 Grandin Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45208
If you cannot make it to Summit on either day, you can grab your packet on race day (6/21) at 8:45 AM at Sawyer Point. A friend or family member can pick up your packet for you as well.
'Run for Chief' hats will be on sale at the packet pick-up while supplies last. All proceeds will be donated to Jaden's Fund at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Race Day
Prior to the race at 9:20 AM, the Woodard Family will speak about the impact Run for Chief has made over the past year at Children's Heart Institute! The race will then begin at 9:30 AM at Sawyer Point. We ask that if you plan on walking the race, to line up towards the back of the crowd at the start line.
Stay afterwards to enjoy food and drink, a live DJ, and meet some new people just like Jay Chief would have done!
Sawyer Point address: 799E E Pete Rose Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202

Donations
Since last year's race, we have started a fund in Jaden's name at Cincinnati Children's Hospital! This fund now allows for tax-deductible donations which can be made here. It is encouraged to donate using this link rather than donating through the Run Sign Up webpage.
Over the past two years your donations have been used for:
- An all-inclusive day at Kings Island for patients and their families
- Christmas gifts for the patients and their siblings
- Lunches for the doctors, nurses, and support staff that provide world-class care and more!
THANK YOU!
