You may add your name to the waitlist if desired. We do not know how many will be able to join from the waitlist.

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.
