The Tri CLE Rock Roll Run offers a Super Sprint, Sprint, and Olympic distance triathlons. The event is staged in the backdrop of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the beautiful Cleveland, Ohio skyline. With distances for all ability levels the event provides both individual divisions to take the course on solo and relay teams to take on the race with two teammates.

The event features a unique two-transition layout giving participants a grand tour of Downtown Cleveland with a swim in the break wall protected waters of the North Coast Harbor in downtown Cleveland then transitioning to a bike ride on a closed-to-traffic Memorial Shoreway that highlights the Cleveland skyline and downtown neighborhoods. The transition from the bike to the run is at Edgewater Park and will be capped off with a run through Cleveland’s premier Metropark.

You're invited to the 2nd Annual Share the River Ramble, a 3.3-mile connect-the-dots, run/walk of the Cuyahoga River riverfront trail segments  Rivers and trails are the arteries that connect people and communities to their natural resources. The Ramble physically connects people to the evolving transformation of Cleveland's riverfront that in some ways is unrecognizable from that June 22 day in 1969. 

We're grateful to our supporting sponsors who have helped make the Expanded Ramble and Blazing Paddles a possibility:

• Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District: "‘Given our role in helping to improve the health of the Cuyahoga River, we’re excited to be part of this celebration. Plus, we’re happy to support an event that connects people to our water resources."
• Fat Head's Brewery is our official brewery partner.
• Canalway Partners: "We're pleased the Share the River Ramble is serving as one of the kick-off events for the inaugural Cleveland History Days, "10 Days and 20 Ways to Experience Cleveland’s History". More information is at http://canalwaypartners.com/events/clevelandhistorydays/
• Ohio City Inc.: "Ohio City Incorporated is working with partners to tie together a growing network of trails and connecting people to the riverfront through Irishtown Bend, and we are thrilled to support the Share the River Ramble which celebrates one of our regions greatest assets, the Cuyahoga River."

We're also partnering again with North Coast Mutli Sports Inc. to stage the Ramble.  Our charity partner is St. Malachi Parish. Cleveland Rowing Foundation (CRF) is our site partner.

You made the 1st Annual Ramble such a success that we're adding a music and beer event at CRF/Rivergate Park where participants can connect with Share the River partner organizations, Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie stakeholders. Fat Head's Brewery is the Ramble's brewery partner and they are excited to support an event that celebrates an important turning point in Cleveland history. We're also teaming up with Nalu Standup Paddle & Surf to host Blazing Paddles, a stand-up paddleboard race on Saturday, June 23.

Stay tuned for more details. The Ramble's intent is to encourage the public to enjoy their natural resources, parks, and paths but it's also intended to provide a focus on several themes central to Share the River's "branding Cleveland as a waterfront city" mission:

• the importance and demonstrable impact of common sense environmental regulations
• the value of public investments in clean water infrastructure (like NEORSD's Project Clean Lake).
• the positive impact of engaged, long-term recreational use of the Cuyahoga River
• the benefit the above three have on Cleveland's appeal 1) as a city where people want to work, live and play in and 2) as a tourism destination.
