About the Snoball Run
The Snoball Run starts and finishes at Bay Village High School, so the school grounds and surrounding neighborhood streets set the tone. It is a winter road race, and the name tells you what to expect from the weather. Both a shorter and a longer distance run on chip timing, so the results are accurate even in a bundled-up crowd.
Packet pickup runs the evening before in the high school gymnasium, with race-morning pickup available before the start. Post-race, there are donuts waiting at the finish area, which lands differently after a cold-weather effort. Awards go to top finishers across a range of age groups, with gift certificates to local businesses as prizes.

The Snoball Run 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 Nov 12, 2026.
