The Must-Do List: Run the Cleveland Marathon

Celebrate months of early nights and chilly morning slogs at Cleveland’s biggest party — championship parades notwithstanding. Join 15,000-plus runners during the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon (this year’s May 21 race marks its 40th anniversary) as the road warriors pound the pavement in time with Cleveland Indians fan John Adams’ signature drumbeat at mile 3 and enjoy showers of neighborhood support — more cowbell! — at route parties from Tremont to Lakewood Park. 800-467-3826, clevelandmarathon.com
