Event Description

2019 Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon

RUNNER'S INFO
The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon has been listed in Running Times as one of the most runner-friendly races in the country - and for good reason! We do our best to make your experience in the Rock 'n Roll Capital of America a solid gold hit!

Timing
TimingHQ is our official timer this year. They use the MyLaps system which allows race organizers to print an integrated tag into the bib for each participant, encoding the runner’s bib number into the tag’s "chip." All you need to do is wear your bib appropriately and your time will be kept.

Live Runner Tracking
Live Runner Tracking is available through our MyLaps App. 

SECURED GEAR CHECK
Runners will be able to store their gear at a gear check drop off area located conveniently between the start and finish line at Public Square. Clear bags will be provided at the Expo and on race day. Only these bags will be permitted. Runners are responsible for properly marking their bag by using either the tear-off tag from their bib, or labeling their gear with their name and race number.

The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Runners who store their gear will do so at their own risk.

Please Note:

*Clear bags will be provided at the Expo/Packet Pick-up and also at the Gear Check Drop Off area. Only clear bags will be permitted.
*Runners must have their bib visible at Pick-Up and it must match tag on gear check bag in order to pick up.
*For security reasons, any unattended bags around the start/finish area are subject to search and removal from the premises.

OFFICIAL GEL & DRINK
The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon offers 18 water and aid stations, 8 along the half marathon course and 3 on the 10K course.  We also will provide 2 energy gel stations located at approximately mile 8 and before mile 19. The gel provider for 2018 is Honey Stinger in Vanilla, Chocolate (caffeinated), Fruit Smoothie and Mango Orange flavors.

The sport drink on course and in the finish line for this year is PowerAde in Berry Blast.

RACE PHOTOS
