Autumn Leaves Pre-Race Info


Time, Place, Rules

Our race begins at 9:00am, Sunday, November 2nd at Lake Metroparks Farmpark at 8800 Euclid Chardon Road (State Route 6), Kirtland, OH.  You can look forward to a romp through pastures, barns and a corn maze, thanks to the Farmpark for this diverse venue for our race.  The use of their space comes with just a couple rules … NO pets and NO alcohol.  Pretty simple.

Kiddie Costume Run

We’ll have a bit of fun just prior to the 5 mile race at 8:45. Children aged 6 and under dressed in costume can participate in a FREE (approximate) 50 yard dash. All receive a participation ribbon. Costume judged “best original” is awarded a special prize… 4 tickets to the Farmpark, good on the day of your choice, compliments of Lake Metroparks! Costume can be anything you like but we suggest a farm or farm-animal theme!  Bring your kids and cheer them on before the start of your race.

Packet Pickup

Packet pickup is Saturday, 10:00am - 6:00pm at Achilles Running Shop (at 7439 Mentor Ave) in Mentor. The hats (SWAG) come in red and blue ...your choice while supplies of your color preference last, so stop by the store Saturday and come to the race Sunday morning ready to run!

If you aren't registered yet, you can sign up and get your SWAG and bib at Achilles as well.

Sunday packet pick up and same day registration will begin at 8:00am at the Farmpark.

Post Race

There will be refreshments, random door prizes, donated by Achilles Running Shop, and age group awards following the race.  Stick around to chat with your fellow runners and see if you’re a lucky winner.

More Time

Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday at 2:00am.  Set your clocks BACK one hour before you go to bed, get an extra hour of sleep, and we’ll see you fresh and ready to run Sunday morning!  It’s going to be a great day for a run!
