Cleveland Marathon and 10K |
|
(Events - Best of the City) |
May 16, 2010
Cleveland State University, Cleveland • 216-687-2000 |
|
|
| |
Description:
Held each spring in late April or May, this event takes advantage of beautiful weather and never fails to yield a great turnout. Thousands of hard-core marathoners attend, and couch potatoes try to be runners for a day. Both races attract elite athletes. However, lots of residents run the 10K at a "leisurely pace" for the reward at the end – bagels, ice cream, Powerbars, Popsicles and the satisfaction of knowing they ran 6.2 miles. Lots of music, food and exciting race finishes make this a fun event for spectators too. |
