Make a Run for It

Marathons, half-marathons and runs in Cleveland

Jen Jones Donatelli March 12, 2025

You've studied your gait, you've religiously tracked your pace and you're ready to hit a new PR. It's time to take your hobby-turned-mild-obsession to the next level with one of these great Cleveland running events.

Cleveland Marathon | May 17-18

 This Cleveland classic since 1978 provides a running experience for athletes of all abilities and includes full, half, 10K and 5K races. 

Lakewood Summer Meltdown | July 19

All of the calories burned will justify the trips to the on-site beer garden and food trucks.

Burning River Endurance Run & Relay | July 26-27

These 100, 50 and 26.2-mile runs are coursed through some of our most treasured park systems like the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Summit Metro Parks.

Cleveland Triathlon | Aug. 10

 A tourist-worthy trifecta: swim Edgewater Beach, bike the Memorial Shoreway and run Edgewater Park. 

Rock Hall Half Marathon | Aug. 17

Come for the rockin’ race, stay for the free Rock & Roll Hall of Fame admission.

River Run Half Marathon | Sept. 7

This scenic race through the Cleveland Metroparks’ Rocky River Reservation is now 18 years running (see what we did there?).

Cleveland Heroes Run | Sept. 14

This unique five-mile run salutes Cleveland’s fallen firefighters and police officers.

FirstEnergy Akron Marathon | Sept. 27

A Boston qualifying race, this is a fave among many as it takes runners through Akron's downtown, as well as a few miles along the Ohio and Erie Canalway Towpath.

Towpath Marathon | Oct. 4

"Runner’s World" called it one of the “most beautiful race courses in America.” ‘Nuff said.

10Ks, 5Ks & More

There are literally hundreds of races in the Cleveland area every year. Check out some the of the run/walk events like the Komen Race for the Cure and others put on by race management companies like Hermes Sports & Events, Greater Cleveland XC and Western Reserve Racing.
