About the Run The Land - East vs. West
The courses run through Cleveland neighborhoods and out into a few surrounding suburbs, staying on sidewalks and following traffic laws the whole way. Runners track themselves with a GPS app that calls out turns and confirms the finish, which takes some pressure off navigation. The race finishes at Forest City Brewery, where a drink ticket is waiting.
Packet pickup the evening before is at Great Lakes Brewing Company. Race morning, the start is along Columbus Road at Willey Avenue. Free street parking is available near the finish, and a church lot a short walk from the start is also free. The West Side Market lot is a paid option a few minutes away on foot.

The Run The Land - East vs. West has been held every year since at least 2021. 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.
