About the Event

The 2025 race is SOLD OUT!

Join the Cleveland Road Runners Club for the 49th running of the Fall Classic 1/2 marathon and 5K at Bonnie Park on Sunday, November 23rd at 9:00 AM. 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. We encourage everyone to carpool to keep the impact on the Cleveland Metroparks at a minimum. Parking is at the RTA parking lot at the corner of Rt. 80 entrance and Pearl Road.
