The Cleveland Marathon has always been one of my favorite races for a number of different reasons. The course, the city, and the experience make the Cleveland Marathon a great race. I lived downtown for a number of years and always loved the thrill and excitement of exploring the town I called home for so many years. While it isn’t as big or prestigious as Chicago, Boston, or New York, it has so many characteristics that make it great.

Below are a few details about the race including why I like the race along with course maps, dates, and additional details to help you decide if you want to sign up. I have also included a few coupon codes to help save you 20% off the race entry fee.

Why do I like the Cleveland Marathon?

1. The city.

I have lived in Northeast Ohio for 30 years and have run the streets of Cleveland for years. While the City has grown, it still has a special meaning to me.

2. Race Gear.

The Cleveland Marathon usually has solid shirts, hats, and gear that you get with your race entry and additional stuff you can buy at the race expo. While some of the merchandise is expensive, its still a great way to remember race day. You can usually buy old race gear at the expo.

3. The course.

The Cleveland Marathon course takes you through all the great areas of Cleveland and also provides some great views of Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline. The course has changed over the years as the race has evolved.

Cleveland Marathon Ambassadors

The Cleveland Ambassadors are a group of people that promote the city and the race. In addition to promoting the race, they share training plans and races on the Cleveland Marathon Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles.

I had the opportunity to be an Ambassador for a few years and it was great to promote a race that so many people are passionate about.
