Cleveland Half Marathon and 5K

Cleveland Half Marathon and 5K is run on October 24, 2026 in Cleveland, with a lively atmosphere and distances for every level of runner. The half marathon (13.1 miles) goes off at 8 a.m., followed by the 10K and the 5K together at 8:15 a.m. Half marathon and 10K finishers receive a long-sleeve quarter-zip, while 5K entrants get a race shirt, and every finisher earns a medal for the effort.

Three road distances on one morning make this a useful family or club target: the 5K works for a first race, the 10K for anyone building toward longer efforts, and the half for a fall goal race. If the 13.1 is the aim, count back 12 to 14 weeks and put a weekly long run at the center of the plan, with the last three weeks tapering rather than cramming. Starting a quarter of an hour after the half also means 10K runners can watch the front of the field roll out first.
