While some will be relaxing on Aug. 25, a day after Mentor CityFest concludes, others will gear up for a five-mile race in the city.

The Mentor CityFest 5-Mile Run & 2-Mile Walk begins at 8:30 a.m., with runners taking off first, followed by walkers at 8:45 a.m.

The event is described as a "challenging, scenic race along bike paths, trails and through Veterans Park," according to registration material.

If you don't sign up online or mail entries to the Department of Parks & Recreation at the Mentor Civic Center ahead of time for $15, you can sign up on race day for $20. Pre-registration lasts until Monday Aug. 19.

Race day registration begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Mentor Senior Center.

The top three overall winners will get awards, along with the top three men and women in each age division.
