Fall Classic – Strongsville, OH 2026

It's the Fall Classic's 50th Anniversary, and we are bringing an exciting change to this classic race. The Fall Classic will be a two-day race : the 5k will be on Saturday, November 21st, and the Half Marathon and Relay will be on Sunday, November 22nd. This will allow us to welcome more runners and also offer a Foxy Challenge , completing both events! Join the Cleveland Road Runners Club for the 50th running of the Fall Classic 1/2 marathon and 5K at Bonnie Park. Over the past 5 decades, thousands of runners have enjoyed this fast, scenic course run entirely in the beautiful Cleveland Metroparks. The 5K & half marathon are USA Track & Field–certified! Both courses are flat and fast, running primarily along the scenic Valley Parkway road through the Cleveland Metroparks — ideal for chasing a personal best. Each day 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 R
