The Tall Betsy 6K will not take place in 2018.
After Party
All participants are invited to celebrate outrunning Tall Betsy at the After-Party in Greenway Park on Raider Drive following the race. Live music, dinner, lots of Halloween fun, and an awards ceremony for age group, overall, and costume contest winners! Don't miss the spookiest and fun After-Party in Cleveland!
Haunt Zones
There will be 4 Haunt Zones along the 6 kilometer course, spooking you into running faster!
Each Haunt Zone is organized by a local nonprofit group, receiving a donation to their organization for participating! Runners and walkers will vote for their FAVORITE Haunt Zone after the race, and the winning Haunt Zone will win an extra big winning donation! The 2017 Haunt Zone participants were:
Tri-State Therapeutic Riding Center
Cleveland High School Cross Country Team
Lee University Developmental Inclusion Classroom (LUDIC)
Advanced Photographic Solution's Relay for Life team
Course
The race will start and end at the Pavilion on Raider Drive and run north on the Greenway past Tinsley Park and back to the Greenway Park. Haunt Zones are notated with colored boxes in the map below.
Parking
We encourage participants to park in the Cooke's Food Store parking lot and walk on the Greenway to the race staging area at the Pavilion on Raider Drive.
Timing
It's not as big as the New York City Marathon, but we will be using the same timing technology! The race will be chip timed by Terra Running Company and the results will be immediately posted at RunTallBetsy.com when you cross the finish line!
