About the Miracle On Erie Street 5K and Miracle Mile
The course runs through downtown Willoughby, which is already dressed up from the holiday tree lighting when race morning arrives. Roads wind through some of the oldest neighborhoods in town, and the terrain stays mostly flat throughout. A shorter walk option follows a slightly different route but starts in the same spot.
Packet pickup is the evening before at an event space above a coffee shop and bakery on Erie Street, with race-morning pickup available at the registration tent. Several free parking lots are scattered around downtown, with street parking also an option on residential roads off the course. After the race, participating bars and restaurants around downtown accept drink tickets handed out at the finish.
