Fall Classic

The Fall Classic, hosted by the Cleveland Road Runners Club, is a popular running event held at Bonnie Park in Strongsville, Ohio. Celebrating its 49th year in 2025, the race features a USATF-certified half marathon, a relay half marathon, a 5K, and a 5K ruck. The course is a fast, flat, double-loop route primarily along the scenic Valley Parkway within the Cleveland Metroparks, offering a beautiful and traffic-free environment.

The event is capped at 1,000 runners and encourages carpooling to minimize park impact. Participants receive a finisher medal, a 1/4 zip pullover, and enjoy perks like chip timing, live results, awards, and a post-race beer garden hosted by Masthead Brewing.
