- WRRA Pep Squad For The Cleveland Marathon
- Friday, May 18th, 2012
Come and join us at 7 am Sunday for the third annual Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon WRRA Pep Club/Dance Party @ The Harp! It’s the marathon’s 35th year!
We’ve reached such critical mass with our on-street cheer party that we are now officially recognized by Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon organizers as:

Neighborhood Party CLICK HERE
- The Harp’s Karen O’Malley has been kind enough to turn her parking lot over to Western Reserve Rowing Association and Erik Murdell/the Coachabago is providing his mobile DJ services! The Harp will be open at 10 for after-marathon replenishment (cheering is hard but very enjoyable work!) and will also provide coffee earlier in the morning.
- We’re expecting about 400+ spectators to join in on the shenanigans so bring your favorite noisemaker (drum, whistle, cowbell). And bring your friends!
- First hand cyclist arrives at The Harp around 7:10, first marathon runner arrives around 7:30, and last runner comes through around 10:00 am.
With over 10,000 RACM half and full marathon participants passing our location at The Harp Sunday morning, this event provides us a unique opportunity to:
1) Participate without actually having to RUN in a singular Cleveland event
2) Publicly display to those outside of our community that rowers are an engaged part of a much much larger recreational population of northeast Ohio.
3) Have a fun time acting in whatever fashion moves us (and the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon participants REALLY appreciate it)
Wouldn’t you want to be a part of this?
