It was race day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and runners gathered for the News 5K and Rock and Roll Half Marathon.
Several hundred people were out at the race early Saturday morning to compete in the half marathon, 10K and 5K and relay. Runners were finishing up around 10 a.m.
While several runners trained weeks ahead of the race, some like marathon runner Jahlen Hill decided Friday night to join.
"I had never done six miles before," he said. "Let's test my body and see what I can do. It was the best thing I ever did honestly."
Runners were being cheered on by loved ones throughout the route, which started and ended at the Rock Hall.
"I really like the crowd and the families," runner Heather Conger said. "They're really supportive throughout the race. I like the course because its kind of like a straight out loop and back. So, mentally I feel like its easier."
Those who participated got to walk away with a cool Rock Hall medal and maybe a bit of soreness.
While winners were declared, many of the racers said it was more about beating your personal best.
"Everyone here is working hard to improve themselves," relay winner Brayden White said. "It's nice to see it."
