About the Hofbräuhaus Cleveland
The race starts and finishes at the Hofbräuhaus on Chester Avenue, a beer hall that gives the whole morning a distinctive backdrop. Several distance options mean you share the start area with a wide range of runners, from those out for a shorter run to those grinding through a half marathon.
Packet pickup is spread across the days leading up to race day at several Fleet Feet locations around the area, with an additional option at the Hermes Sports and Events office. Race-morning pickup is available as well, and parking is in privately owned lots nearby, so it helps to arrive with a plan.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Hofbräuhaus Cleveland has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
