Celebrate Westlake 2014
Over 900 participated in the annual Celebrate Westlake event at St. John Medical Center on Aug. 30. The 24th installment of Westlake's 5-mile charity run was a success once again, drawing runners from across Ohio and several states. Switching back to the Celebrate Westlake name after several years as the North Coast Challenge, the event included a 5K run/walk, kids' fun dashes and activities, and a health and fitness expo. Proceeds from the event benefit a number of Westlake charities. More than $1.4 million has been raised since 1991.
