The Neighborhood Art House Art & Sole 5k is a unique event in several ways. The race begins at the Art House and loops through Downtown Erie, with racers sprinting down State Street looking toward the Lake. They finish running uphill, ending back at the Neighborhood Art House. Not many races take place downtown and it's a great way for runners to experience the neighborhood the Art House serves. In addition to the uncommon race route, the winners take home artwork created by the students of the Neighborhood Art House.
