The Mission of the Road Race Series

Hermes Sports & Events will be hosting the 11th annual Road Race Series to help promote road racing in Northeastern Ohio. The Road Race Series is designed to create a motivating factor for the participants and allows for a season-long competition for both seasoned and new runners alike.

Who can participate?

Everyone! The Hermes Sports & Events Road Race Series is open to runners of all ages and abilities. This is a fun way to track your individual performance and progress throughout the year and compete against others in the Series. High school and college athletes are encouraged to participate but it is your responsibility to clarify all eligibility requirements with your organization. Hermes Sports & Events assumes no responsibility for eligibility infractions or problems that may arise from an athlete's participation in the Road Race Series.
