Division Place: N/A

Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:

This race was very family friendly! They raffled off fun door prizes. Coffee, hot cocoa, and sugar cookies were all provided from local places in Olmsted Falls. You could hang out inside the middle school before and after the race. The kids run had three different distances, and all kids received a medal. My little boys loved it! My only complaint was the course through the soccer field was not double stroller friendly. Anyone have any recommendations for an actual double running stroller instead of our Britax?

Race Recap By George McFall:

he Miracle on Erie Street 5k in Willoughby, OH is a race you should add to your 2025 race calendar. A fun, fast and festive event. Santa was there and the town square, downtown streets, restaurants and shops were decorated with holiday cheer. Good vibes!! The race supports Erie Street Miracles, a charitable organization that spreads holiday cheer by making hundreds of Christmas Mornings possible for those in need. The start gun went off around 11:00am. The course was mostly flat and goes thru Willoughby’s oldest neighborhoods. The temp was in the mid-20s. Roads were in great condition. Perfect weather to run in a tank and arm sleeves. The sun was shining so it helped make it feel warmer than it really was. I stayed with the lead pack most of the race. The lead runners, however, pulled away and the rest of us hung on to post some good times. I loved this race. I placed 1st in my age group and 7th overall. My award was a tin of freshly baked Christmas cookies. The swag bag was filled with a race T-shirt, a Santa hat (thanks to Crumbl Cookie) and a card that had a thank you note inside from Erie Street Miracles. Awesome race! Great volunteers!
