The Cleveland Christmas Run

Virtual Event

Sat 11th November 2023

3 races

Organiser's Description

IMPORTANT- CONVERSION TO A VIRTUAL EVENT
Unfortunately registrations are lagging. The combination of the early November date, the race theme change, the 3-year absence has had a significant impact on the event. ย  ย While this race normally has 5,500 to 7,200 runners, yet our projections indicate less than 2,500 will show up. This race involves constructing an elaborate start line and finish line, tying up city streets, shutting down the interstate exit, and providing a significant amount of road barricades. Itโ€™s a race that is costly to set up, and even costlier to operate. In the three-year absence, we lost every one of our sponsors that helped defray the cost of the event. In short, weโ€™re forecasting a loss of over $50,000. Weโ€™re not a huge corporation, just two running enthusiasts that love the movie and enjoy producing this event. We cannot afford a loss.
This has forced us to transition the Live event in Cleveland to a Virtual Run. Because we have medals on order (they have long lead times and we must order months ahead of time) we are converting everyone to a Virtual runner and youโ€™ll still receive your shirt and medal. For those of you that prefer to not run a virtual event, we will offer a refund, but weโ€™re hoping most of you will opt to be a Virtual runner as we have the significant cost of the shirts, medals, and other sunk costs we incurred. We are also working with our race timer, GCXC Racing, to offer you the option of a live Christmas race experience at one of their 9 Run Santa Run 5k events in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Details on this will be coming soon.
