Introduction
Every year since 1988, competitors from all over Ohio have shined their golf
clubs, packed their volleyballs and laced their running shoes for
one reason and one reason only…to compete in run,jane,run Ohio’s only weekend sports festival! run,jane,run promotes health,
fitness and social activity for men and women alike. When run,jane,run
was created it was in response to the elementary school readers
in which Dick would run, jump and play while Jane watched from the
sidelines. Today Dick and Jane compete side by side for the same reasons…health,
fitness, social activity and to raise money for a great cause.

It is time to polish the golf clubs and begin forming teams to participate in the 21st annual run,jane,run with proceeds benefitting the Women’s Center of Greater Cleveland. Yes…you heard right…twenty-one years! In 1988 a group of women set out to create an athletic competition that would give women the opportunity to participate in competitive sports on the same level as their male counterparts. They never imagined that it would blossom into such a great event, an event that has grown to include both men and women alike.
