Member Recognitions

Recent Recognitions

Over the past 40 years, the Cleveland West Road Runners organization has been lifted up through the strengths and unselfish contribution of many, many members.  These are folks who enjoy the sport and camaraderie of running and want to foster an environment where others can share and grow in that same experience.  A few of those bright sparks from the club's history have had awards named in honor of the examples and contributions they provided, and at the Winter Banquet current club members who best mirror those examples are presented with awards.
