A Most Excellent Race takes place today at Beaumont School in Cleveland Heights. Proceeds support recreation programs for children with disabilities at the Achievement Centers’ Camp Cheerful. Prizes will be awarded to the top runners in each age group. Those who believe running takes too much effort can take part in 5-K or 1-mile walks. There also will be family activities such as crafts, a bounce house and face painting. Online race registration is $25 until June 22. Race day registration opens at 7:30 a.m. and is $30. The race kickoff is at 9 a.m. (Leuthauser)
