Miracle on Erie Street 5K Review

The Miracle on Erie Street 5k in Willoughby, OH is a race you should add to your holiday 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.  A Willoughby police vehicle leads the way.  Easy to follow directions thanks to signs and volunteers on the course.  I loved this race. Everyone gets a finishers medal and a card to use for free drinks at local restaurants or bars.  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! I highly recommend this race,
