Fall Running Stuff and Things

The kids are back to school and summer is coming to a close. We’ve got plenty of races and even some free running events to fill your fall with fun!

Run the forbidden trails of Camp Manatoc for your choice of 26.2 or 13.1 beautiful, hilly miles.  Both distances receive finisher’s medal and gender specific LNT tank.

Join us at 6:30 at the Wine Spot for 4.5-ish miles of running happiness! This free group run will preview the course for the upcoming Happy 5k, enjoy $1 off drink specials and over 13 craft beers on tap!

Adidas will provide demo shoes, there will be some great raffle prizes including VR gift certificates and a Happy 5k race entry or two.

Parking available behind The Wine Spot-2271 Lee Rd, Cleveland Heights

First we’ll dash, then we’ll dine…and drink! A 3 mile or 5 mile run option kicks off at 6:30 PM. Then, ticket sales for our Seasonal Beer Garden begins at 7 PM. A portion of this $5 ticket benefits our Whole Kids Foundation.
Sample seasonal brews, snack on festive appetizers, enjoy live music, and enter raffles to benefit the foundation. Saucony will provide demo shoes and a few giveaways.

This race rocks out and back on the flat, fast bridle trail next to the Rocky River. You won’t get wet (unless you jump in) but you may get Dirty!
Swag for Dirty Rocks 10k is a Dirty Trail Series duffle bag perfect for stowing your trail running gear and a maple glazed, vegan sweet potato donut made hot for you at the finish line!  Local farmer turned donut guru, Justin Husher, will be frying up the sweet treats for runners.  Additional donuts will also be available for purchase.
