Kenmore Cowbell 7K
On Saturday, June 7, Akron Promise will host the fourth in its 15-race City Series, the Cowbell 7k, which highlights the newly constructed Summit Lake Trail as well as Akron’s Music Row, Kenmore Boulevard. The Cowbell 7k is unique not only in its distance but in its combination of natural and urban experiences. The race will kick off at 8 a.m. at the historic Rialto Theatre. It will continue east on Kenmore Boulevard to the south end of Summit Lake, where runners will connect to the Towpath via the Summit Lake Trail. Runners will cross the Ohio & Erie Canal via a bridge and head west, then south along the north side of the lake. Runners will experience a slight uphill roll on Kenmore Boulevard which will level out, then head slightly downhill to finish. The finishers’ medal will include a literal cowbell. Runners who finish five of the Akron Promise City Series races will receive a specially designed medal. Proceeds from the race will provide resources, mentorship and post-secondary scholarships to Akron Public School students in Kenmore and surrounding communities.
