Gare di Half Marathon vicino a Brooklyn

The Chippewa Creek Challenge is an autumn trail half marathon held in Brecksville Reservation, a part of Cleveland Metroparks in Ohio. It is included in the Dirty Trail Series and accommodates hikers and trail runners, even those new to this type of course. The route features varied terrain and elevation, with steep climbs and winding paths through the reservation. Participants who finish get a medal and a triblend t-shirt. The race logo references the Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson salamanders native to the Chippewa Creek area, which migrate to vernal breeding pools in the spring.

Run with Scissors begins and ends at Riverdale Regional Park in Brighton, Colorado. All races start at 7:00 a.m. during the spring. The series offers runners three distance options: a half marathon, a marathon, and a 50K. A 9-hour time limit applies to all three distances, catering to long-distance runners seeking an extended period on the course rather than a brief, speed-focused event. The race honors its name with a custom scissors-shaped medal. Finishers also receive a race-specific wicking beanie and a 16-ounce pub-style drinking glass. A portion of the proceeds benefits Almost Home Inc., a nonprofit charity. Previous events featured Darla’s vegan chili, prepared with sweet potato, quinoa, black beans, kidney beans, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, and garlic-and-herb pasta sauce.

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.

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.
