Join us for our Second Annual Gates Mills Fox Trot to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gates Mills Elementary and the 200th anniversary of our Village! Participants of all ages are welcome to join us for a fun-filled run or walk along the Chagrin River and through scenic Gates Mills.
Located in the heart of the Chagrin River Valley, this beautiful looped course is well-suited for a range of runners, with scenic views of nature and Western Reserve architecture at the start of fall.
Bring the whole family for an enjoyable morning of connectedness in the heart of the Village, with the Kids 50 Yard Foxtrot beginning at 8:45am and the 1 Mile & 5K beginning at 9:00am. Stay tuned for additional details on activities for the whole family!
