Emerald Miles 5K Run/Walk | Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati and Columbus

March 23, 2013 9am

WOW!! What a great turnout from a fantastic group of supporters! We can’t thank everyone enough for the mass outpouring of kindness and awareness that was spread about epilepsy! If you took place in the event, you can find your timing results at: www.finishspot.com. If you were a team captain, we are still inputting donations and totals and will contact you shortly to get all of the prizes out!

Emerald Miles is our annual 5K (3.107 miles) Run/Walk fundraiser. The race starts at Newport on the Levee, crosses over the Ohio River, loops through Sawyer Point and into Cincinnati, then ends back at Newport on the Levee.

Emerald Miles takes place in March of every year and it is dedicated to the memory of Dennis Stemler. Dennis was an energetic, caring young adult who found joy in living. He never let life get him down, but always reached for the stars as he overcame the many struggles associated with epilepsy. He took part in the Epilepsy Foundation’s Camp Flame Catcher and teen support group, was active in his high school and ran on both his school’s cross country team and in this race. On February 24, 2004, Dennis died unexpectedly from a seizure. His death has had a profound impact on the community as hundreds of families, friends, and classmates have joined together to honor Dennis by participating in this event.

We invite you to celebrate the lives of those with epilepsy by joining in this event. You can enter as an individual, start a team, join a team, or sponsor a participant. You can also collect pledges to win great prizes.

Emerald Miles 2013 will take place on Saturday, March 23, 2013. On our Emerald Miles website, you can find out all of the event details, register for the event online or print a registration form to mail in, sponsor a participant who has signed up for the event, view past pictures and so much more!

Emerald Miles 2011 Breaks all Records!!

Thanks to our volunteers from P & G and LaSalle High School who helped us put on a very successful event. We could not have done it without them. Thanks to Channel 19 for doing a special feature on the race; the awareness they raised was invaluable.

A giant thanks to all the team members who came out in force to support their loved ones with epilepsy–they accounted for 85% of the funds that were raised! A big thank you to the 139 team members of Emily & Co. from Rising Sun, Indiana, who raised over $6,000! Their support of Emily is a beautiful witness of love.
