Autumn Squatch is a late-autumn trail race held at Alum Creek State Park in Orange, Ohio. It offers 10K, 20K, and 50K distances, all beginning at 8 a.m. The Rocks and Roots Trail serves all three courses, with the start located off Hollenback Road, south of the dog park near Lewis Center. The race embraces its Bigfoot theme: hundreds of participants, including runners, hikers, volunteers, and Bigfoot fans, enter the woods annually in search of the Autumn Squatch, whose legend began in fall 2012. The narrative suggests he frequents the Rocks and Roots Trail on late autumn evenings during his journey south for winter. Participants completing the race receive a shirt and medal; registration frequently closes a few weeks prior to the event.

Turkey Trails Cleveland is an annual Thanksgiving-themed running event offering a half marathon, 10K, 5K, untimed 1 mile, and a kid's dash. The main races feature chip timing, live results, and awards, while the shorter family options are less competitive. Registration for the half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1 mile includes a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. This event is designed as a family holiday run rather than a competition exclusively for serious runners. Children 10 and under can participate in the untimed dash, receiving a mini bib, youth shirt, and a kid-specific medal, or they can run without the extra items. The 5K and 10K also provide youth pricing for participants 12 and under. Post-race treats, complimentary photos, and a virtual race option are available; virtual participants can run at their own location and still receive the event merchandise.

A Christmas Story 5K/10K is a December running event in Cleveland, Ohio, built around the city locations tied to the movie. Both races start at Public Square on Superior Street, right in front of the old Higbee’s building used in the film, so runners begin at one of the story’s most recognizable Cleveland landmarks. The event offers both 5K and 10K runs, with a virtual option for people who cannot get to Cleveland. The 5K route runs from downtown Cleveland to A Christmas Story House & Museum, turning the race into a point-to-point trip between two movie sites rather than a generic city loop. At its usual size, the event draws roughly 5,500 to 7,200 runners, and staging it means building large start and finish areas, closing city streets, shutting an interstate exit, and setting out many road barricades. Virtual runners receive medals and shirts, and they can complete their run by Christmas Day.

Run The Land - East vs. West, a Greater Cleveland race series, pits participants against each other based on the city’s old river rivalry, with a choice of East or West at registration. The race weekend includes Friday packet pickup and Saturday wave starts. Available distances are marathon, 20-mile, half marathon, 10K, and 5K, along with a virtual option for those who prefer to run on their own schedule. The in-person courses are marked sidewalk routes that follow normal traffic laws, with RaceJoy GPS tracking runners, providing off-course warnings, and recording official finish times. Aid stations are positioned every 3 miles for half marathon, 20-mile, and marathon participants. The event, designed by runners, benefits Greater Cleveland nonprofits. Each runner selects a 501(c)(3) charity during registration. Additional race-day perks include a pint glass, drink ticket, bib, timing chip, charity fundraising shirts or hoodies, a Cleveland Road Runners Club discount, and team bragging rights with distinct shirt colors for the East or West victor.
