The Nun Run is a 5K (3.1 miles) race that begins at St. George Byzantine Church, runs on the surrounding streets of Canton and through parts of the Middlebranch Trail, sends runners to the Sancta Clara Monastery grounds where they are cheered on by the Sisters, and ends at St. George Byzantine Church. Since this is a family-friendly event and open to participants of all ages, racers can walk or run at their choosing. Strollers are welcome! We also will have a FREE Kids 100 Yard Fun Run for children before the race for the younger ones.

Due to space limitations and fire code regulations, we have to limit the race to 300 participants. We strongly encourage you to register as early as possible to save your spot.
