About the Hattie Larlham ThriveK - Cleveland

The race takes place inside Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, so the surroundings are a little different from a typical road race. Both a timed run and an untimed walk-and-roll option are offered, and the course is designed to accommodate runners, walkers, strollers, and wheelchair users together. The whole event is built around Hattie Larlham's work supporting people of all abilities.

Your entry covers full-day zoo admission, so there is reason to stick around after you finish. A post-race party is held at the Palava Pavilion inside the zoo grounds. Packet pickup opens early on race morning, so you can arrive, get your bib, and still have time to settle in before the start.

Common Questions About the Hattie Larlham ThriveK - Cleveland

Will I finish last at the Hattie Larlham ThriveK - Cleveland?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:25, and the last recorded finisher came in around 49:17, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hattie Larlham ThriveK - Cleveland a good first 5K?

It is a small race (50 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Hattie Larlham ThriveK - Cleveland?

The 5K winner ran 21:13 while the median finisher took 32:25. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
