Description
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the North Royalton Family Y will host its Ninth Annual Bubble Blast Kathleen DePiero Memorial 5K! Proceeds from the event will benefit the Y’s Annual Campaign, granting area youth and families the opportunity to access Y programs and services, such as Swim Lessons, Youth Sports Leagues, and Before and After School Childcare they otherwise could not afford. The race is dedicated to the memory of Kathleen DePiero, a former board member who is credited with the inception of the event in 2016, and was a tremendous advocate for youth and families in our community.
Since the inception of the race, the North Royalton Y supported over $200,000 in scholarships for membership and programs.

Little Colorado
Event Description
"Little Colorado"...Northeast Ohio's version of one of Colorado's most challenging climbs, "The Manitou Incline."
About the Manitou Incline: Referred to by locals as simply ‘the Incline’, this popular but strenuous hike is not for the faint of heart. After climbing 2,000 vertical feet in only 0.9 of a mile, 2,768 steps, with a climbing grade up to 60%, you’ll finally reach the summit. As they say in Colorado, "It's like a Stairmaster, but outside!"
"Little Colorado" Big Hills. Short Loops. Shaky Legs.
In conjunction with Brandywine Fall Fest/Ski Swap, join us on October 10, 2026, for Little Colorado, a fun-packed morning of hill climbing on the ski slopes at Brandywine Ski Resort! Choose your own adventure challenge — Each loop is 1 mile with 375ft of elevation gain. Complete as many loops as you can in 3 hours (Max of 5 loops)— and get ready for a short, steep course guaranteed to make your legs shake. Whether you’re racing for the awards, testing your climbing legs, or simply looking for a memorable day on the hills, Little Colorado is ready for you.
How To Compete at Little Colorado
The Course: The Little Colorado event course is divided into 2 parts, the "Main Loop" and the "Final Climb". You may complete as many 'Main Loops" as possible until you finish 5 loops or call it a day. All competitors must complete their final climb to get an official finish.
Part 1-The "Main Loop"
Distance = 1 mile Vertical Feet/loop = 375 feet
The "Main Loop" is 1 mile that begins with a "Green" circle climb on Frosty (the "beginner" hill), then to a "Blue" square climb on the Outer Limits trail (an "intermediate" hill), then to Regulator Johnston, a "black" diamond climb (an "advanced" hill). The "Main Loop" has a vertical climb of 375 feet. Complete as many laps as you can in the time-frame of the event up to a maximum of 5 laps. With each lap being 375 feet of vertical, completing all 5 laps (plus the "Final Climb") will equal the vertical feet of the Manitou Incline...2000 vertical feet!
Part 2-The "Final Climb"
Distance = 0.12 miles Vertical Feet = 125 feet
Upon completing your number of laps of the 1 mile "Main Loop," you will need to climb one of Ohio's steepest ski hills, Champagne, another "black" diamond, ("expert" hill), as your final climb. You will ONLY DO THE CHAMPAGNE climb ON YOUR FINAL LAP. The Champagne climb will get you to the finish line.
Event Day Schedule: Saturday, October 10
8:30 am | Packet Pick-up and Event-Day Registration Opens (Yes, there is "race day registration")
10:00 am |The Climbing Challenge Begins!

🏞️ About Flusslauf:
Willkommen to Flusslauf! While the more appropriate name would be Flussüberquerung, we folks from the States might struggle there. The Flusslauf Experience is an exciting adventure at our 7-mile (or 11-kilometer) run, ruck, or hike through the trees and roots of Bedford Reservation. Take on the trails with your fellow runners, conquer the river crossing (yes, you WILL get wet twice), and finish with a well-deserved beverage in our Biergarten after the run.How big is the river crossing?
About 20 inches and only up to your knees!

Hell on Hogsback
About
Date: Saturday, August 29, 2026
Time: 7:00am - 7:00pm
Location: Stinchcomb-Groth Memorial Hill, Cleveland, OH
Hell on Hogsback: Endurance Challenge in Cleveland, Ohio is a physical and mental test for those looking to give back in a BIG way on one of the steepest hills the area has to offer. The race is located in the Rocky River Reservation at the top of Stinchcomb-Groth Memorial Hill. The objective is simple: how many times can you complete the looped hill course within your chosen time? Will you #endureforcancer?
Update for 2026: The overall winner of the 12-Hour Endurance Challenge will win a SISU Eddy Barrel Sauna!
Course
Hell on Hogsback is a 1.1 mile looped (or what some might say...down & up) course with 140ft elevation gain & loss at an average 12% grade per loop. Starting at the top of Stinchcomb-Groth Memorial Hill, runners will head down to the bottom of the hill, take a sharp right, and continue their way down to the bottom of Hogsback Lane. At the bottom of Hogsback, runners will loop around a cone and reverse their footsteps back up Hogsback & to the top of Stinchcomb. Runners will complete their lap by completing a loop through the parking lot, upper single trail hill, and back to the parking lot where aid stations, tents, and vendors will be stationed.
Our Mission & Impact for 2026
Our internal ethos is #EndureForCancer. Through this ethos, it is our mission to raise $34,000 across 400+ registrants to positively impact 3 cancer patients who are unable to fund their surgical or medical procedure(s). After the race, the race committee will select candidates & hand-deliver checks consisting of race proceeds to the patients in need.

Cathy Fischer Memorial Walk and Run
Benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
CATHY'S STORY
Cathy's journey with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began in Feb 1996, six years before her official diagnosis. In
1996, she raised $3200 for LLS, possibly sensing her future battle. In Nov 2011, she developed symptoms and
underwent treatment at Cleveland Clinic from 2012 to 2013, managing chemo and hair loss. She never
complained and continued to work full time and teaching reading to underprivileged children one day a week
during her scheduled lunch. And she continued to run at least 20 to 30 miles per week.
In Dec 2013, Cathy opted for an aggressive bone cell transplant. Despite the three-week sterile procedure, she
remained active, walking the halls, spreading smiles, and resumed work and her normal physical activities, which
included running, hiking, water aerobics, and yoga,post-release.
2014 brought ups and downs. Although she did not receive any further chemo, she required periodic scans and
remained on medication for her lymphoma. Her attitude was great and Cathy managed a trip to New Hampshire,
where she hiked to the top of Mount Washington. In the fall she hiked Sedona and the Grand Canyon.
In 2018, a scan revealed aggressive lymphoma B-cells, leading to a CART T Cell procedure in Columbus for three
weeks. Cathy's resilience was evident as she exercised daily, read books, and attended events during recovery.
2019 to July 2023 involved emotional roller coasters with drug trials and chemotherapy, leading to hospital
stays. Cathy's unwavering faith, commitment to Mass, and plans for future activities showcased her courage.
Her greatest hope was to witness her eldest granddaughter’s wedding day someday.
Despite her challenging "fight," Cathy embraced life, served others, and raised thousands of dollars for LLS to
help other people. Sadly Cathy lost her fight and she symbolically transitioned from bearing her "cross" to
wearing her "crown."
