Run The Land - 5k, 10k, Half, and Full Marathon

As the saying goes, Running Isn't Canceled. This running weekend brings an in-person, hybrid event to the roads and paths around Cleveland with a dose of friendly rivalry. This is East Side vs West Side. This is a chance to train for something. This is a chance to Run The Land. 

About the Run:

Aid stations will be every 3 miles for the Half Marathon, and Full Marathon courses. This is a rules of the road run meaning you must follow traffic laws but we picked courses that are beautiful, have minimal crossings, and are easy to follow. Runners will be timed using RaceJoy, an GPS tracking app, that will alert you if you are off course and give you an official finish time. Runners will start in groups no larger than 10 and in intervals every 5 minutes starting at 10am. 

How the Starting Corrals Work

Starting locations will also be the Aid Stations (locations will be released in October). This will allow for safe, small groups to be released every 5 minutes from the various points. Priority of start time will be given to those who sign up first. Get in early for a guaranteed start time and location. Start time will be 10:00 AM on November 14.

Why is the Run $50

This is a hybrid, in-person marathon designed by runners, for runners, and giving back to Greater Cleveland charities. This run is $50 for many reasons; the swag is awesome, the run is tracked and timed with prizes, and most importantly, the funds get pumped right back into the community to help nonprofits that directly service C-L-E. We are putting our best foot forward on this one to put on a professional-grade, high intensity run that will bring a positive impact to the greater Cleveland area.
