Fall Classic

Join the Cleveland Road Runners Club for the 48th running of the Fall Classic 1/2 marathon and 5K at Bonnie Park on Sunday, November 24th at 9:00a.m. Over the past 4+ decades, thousands of runners have enjoyed this fast, scenic course run entirely in the beautiful Cleveland Metroparks.

The course is a double loop, flat, fast course mostly on the scenic valley parkway road and the 1/2 marathon course is USATF certified.  The race is capped at 1000 runners.  To keep the impact at a minimum to the Cleveland Metroparks we encourage everyone to carpool.  Parking is at the RTA parking lot at the corner of Rt. 80 entrance and Pearl Road.
