About
The Cleveland Marathon takes place in Cleveland, Ohio, in mid-May, over a weekend. The 5K and 10K are held on Saturday, and the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the full marathon (26.2 miles) on Sunday, so distances range from a casual run to a full-distance challenge. The course blends urban scenery with areas of lakes and ponds.
The city has a lot to offer after the race: the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the West Side Market, the trails of the Cleveland Metroparks, Lake Erie for its sunsets and the natural history museum. Weather by the lake can be cool and windy in May, so check conditions and be prepared to adjust your layers on race morning.
