The City of Westlake will host its Third Annual Community Run & Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, September 13, 2025, featuring multiple race options and a community meal to benefit local youth programs.

The morning event will include a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile walk, and a Kids Dash designed to accommodate participants of all ages and fitness levels. Following the races, attendees can enjoy a pancake breakfast alongside fellow runners and community members.

All proceeds from the event will support the Westlake Recreation Youth Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to ensure children have access to recreational programs regardless of their families' economic circumstances.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together, stay active, and support a great cause," said event organizers. The scholarship fund helps remove financial barriers that might prevent young people from participating in city recreation programs.

Registration for the event is now open at hermescleveland.com. The event promises to combine fitness, community spirit, and charitable giving in a single morning celebration.
