Marathon
26.2 Miles
In its 32nd year, the Cleveland Marathon features a relatively flat and fast course, great volunteer support and a scenic view of downtown Cleveland and its major landmarks. The course has been designed for our athletes to enjoy views of Browns Stadium, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Lake Erie and many other Cleveland highlights.
The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon has no limit on the size of the field and requires no qualifying time to enter. Official times of the 26.2-mile competitive foot race are maintained for 8 hours.
All Marathon runners/walkers will receive a goodie bag, T-shirt, and results book that will be mailed out after the race. Marathon finishers will receive a unique finishers medallion with an electric guitar that spins. Marathon finishers will also receive a finishers certificate that will be mailed out after the race. The top 5 male and female finishers will receive an award.
