Join us for the full race or sign up for the 5K option.

Training for the Cleveland Marathon or Glass City? Feeling bored with winter and want a little challenge? Or just generally a big fan of runs that finish with a craft beer? This is a great opportunity to have a fully supported long run. This is East Side vs West Side. This is a chance to Run The Land.
About the Run:
Aid stations will be every 3 miles for the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 20 Mile courses. This is a RULES OF THE ROAD event. Runners, walkers, and ruckers must stay on the sidewalk & follow traffic laws. We have courses highlighting Cleveland and a few of the surrounding suburbs. The courses will have minimal crossings and are easy to follow. Runners will be timed using a Chronotrack B Tag Timing Chip and RaceJoy, an GPS tracking app, that will alert you if you are off course and give you an official finish time.
This is more than a run.
This is a hybrid, in-person marathon designed by runners, for runners, and giving back to Greater Cleveland charities. This run is great for many reasons; the swag is awesome, the run is tracked and timed on a fully marked course, and most importantly, the funds get pumped right back into the community to help nonprofits that directly service C-L-E. We are putting our best foot forward on this one to put on an exciting run that will bring a positive impact to the greater Cleveland area.

The 10th annual Resiliency Run features a 5k run through the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The unfortunate truth is that traumatic and burn injuries are common in our community, but so are strength and recovery. The Resiliency Run was created to honor this strength and to acknowledge the extraordinary people - survivors and their loved ones - who are moving themselves from the worst days to the very best. This event also honors the caregivers who provide a steady hand of healing along the way. Funds raised will benefit trauma and burn survivors who come to MetroHealth for critical care needs as well as other healthcare needs.

What you Get
Run for the Heartline T-Shirt
Organization Description
Run for the Heartline is a community 5K dedicated to saving lives by raising awareness of aortic disease, including aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, and supporting the patients and families affected by it. Your steps on race day help shine a light on a condition that is often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and too often fatal when not recognized in time.
Aortic disease affects the body’s main blood vessel, the aorta, the high-pressure “heartline” that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When the aortic wall weakens, it can balloon (aneurysm) or tear (dissection), leading to severe internal bleeding and a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate care. Many people living with aortic disease have no symptoms until a crisis occurs, which is why education, early diagnosis, and family screening are so critical.
Aortic disease can affect anyone, from young adults to older people, and it does not always come with traditional “risk factor” warnings. Some individuals are at especially high risk, including those with a family history of aortic aneurysm or dissection, people with certain genetic or connective tissue conditions, and those with long-standing high blood pressure. Too many families first hear the words “aortic dissection” only after a sudden loss or near-fatal emergency, underscoring the need for greater public and medical awareness.
The hopeful news is that many tragedies can be prevented. When aortic enlargement or disease is found early, through imaging, genetic evaluation, and appropriate specialist care, doctors can monitor the aorta closely and, when needed, perform planned surgery before a dissection occurs. Healthy lifestyle choices, such as controlling blood pressure, staying active, eating a heart-healthy diet, and avoiding smoking, also help protect the aorta and reduce overall cardiovascular risk.
Run for the Heartline exists to turn awareness into action. Funds raised from this event support education about the signs, risks, and emergency symptoms of aortic dissection, encourage at-risk families to seek appropriate screening, and help advance research and advocacy so that more people receive timely diagnosis and care. By running, walking, volunteering, or donating, you honor those we have lost, stand with those living with aortic disease today, and help ensure more lives are saved through awareness and action.

In a time of growing hate and division, join Rekindle for our first-ever Walk for Unity—a one-mile walk and 5K race that turns hope into movement. This is more than a finish line: it’s a public, joyful statement that we choose relationship, courage, and community over polarization and dissension. Rekindle is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded and co-led by Black and Jewish leaders, built to strengthen trust across difference through open dialogue and face-to-face connection. From our base in Cleveland, our work has reached 20+ cities nationwide, with Fellows reporting measurable growth in their readiness to address hate and build bridges in real life.
Whether you’re walking with your family, running with friends, or showing up with your congregation, workplace, or neighborhood group, you’ll be part of something momentous: Cleveland’s community coming together across lines of race and faith—visible, united, and moving forward together.
Walk. Run. Bring someone new. Let’s show the world what unity looks like.
