About the Cleveland Christmas Cookie Run and Walk
The course runs through downtown Cleveland along the water, so there is waterfront scenery for most of the run. Several distance options are available, including a short kids dash, making it a race that draws a lot of families out on a holiday weekend morning.
The finish line has freshly baked cookies, and you pick your flavor. There are also snacks, fruit, and other refreshments after you cross. A branded mug is part of what participants receive, and finish line photos are taken on course.
