CLEVELAND - (June 10, 2024) - The 2024 Cleveland Marathon announced today
it had raised $655,500 for 32 partner organizations through its Charity
Program. The Cleveland Marathon has helped raise well over $4 million for
local charitable organizations since its inception in 1977.

"There are really two finish lines for us, one at the events during race
weekend, and the other when we see the final charity totals. What an
incredible year of support from our charity runners," said Race Director
Ralph Staph. "Running is often seen as an individual sport, but when you
see the power and impact of this community of athletes on Northeast Ohio
and beyond, it's inspiring. We are so proud of our role and want to thank
our charitable organizations and runners for all their effort."

The 48th Cleveland Marathon will welcome runners back to The Land for race
weekend, May 17-18, 2025. Registration for all events opens soon.

The Cleveland Marathon has a long-standing commitment to the charitable
community. The Charity Program allows organizations of all sizes and

effective fundraising vehicle. All charities are welcome to participate.
