Cleveland was my first marathon back in 2010 and I have since run it in 2014, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19. I love the energy of this race and running through the crowds and streets of the areas like Tremont and Lakewood. I've been an ambassador for the race for about 5 years now because I love it so much. Parking is easy, plenty of bathrooms, expo is well organized and the finish line party is the best with Great Lakes Brewing and Titos!

This was my first year participating and I was impressed. Parking was easy, started on time, course was scenic and challenging with first half mostly downhill and back half more up. Great food and festival atmosphere after for Memorial day weekend. Medina is this cute little town and the race is run really well. Nice awards too for AG and overall. Will definitely run again!

I've run the full in 2017, 2018 and 2019. This year was my second fastest time. In 2018 I set a PR. I love smaller marathons and this one has a good small town feel to it. The course has some hills so definitely be ready for that. I love the stadium finish and there is beer/food after. Great race swag including one of the coolest medals around and a cool finishers blanket!

This year was my second time running Boston. This race has so much energy and is so well organized. The crowd support is amazing. The course is challenging and historic. What's not to love about this race? The expo is crazy packed with people. The weather is always a question mark. This year it poured when we were loading up on the buses to Hopkintown, fortunately stopped for the race but the humidity was a killer!
