Organizers redrew the course due to construction, and it includes lots of turns, crossovers, and out-and-backs.
. The race typically crosses into the city’s neighboring communities, including Lakewood, but construction on Lakewood Avenue has made that impossible. Now, the course will be entirely within the city’s limits.
“[The race is] showcasing the city and what people have to understand is we don’t have total control over this,” the marathon’s executive director, Jack Staph, tells 3News. “We have to then present it to the city and it’s negotiated on what we can and can’t do.” Staph said his organization spoke with different running groups to get their thoughts and decided to make it a “Cleveland-centric course.”
That means runners will makes lots of turns, crossovers, and out-and-backs, but will also run by city landmarks, including Cleveland Browns Stadium, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Progressive Field, and the Christmas Story house in Tremont.
