Step up to the plate for the Opening Day 4 Miler, a uniquely baseball-themed race held on Friday, April 3, 2026, in the vibrant Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, OH. This event, featuring both a 4-mile "Home Run" and a 2-mile "Second Base" distance, perfectly encapsulates the excitement of Cleveland baseball's Opening Day, offering runners an engaging course through urban streets and along the scenic Towpath Trail. Each mile is marked as a base, building anticipation until you reach the halfway point at Clark Field Park, where you'll have the unforgettable chance to literally run the bases.
Produced by Run The Land, the Opening Day 4 Miler is more than just a race; it's a community celebration that directly benefits the impactful work of Tremont West.
