Since its inception, the Cleveland Marathon has generated over $20 million to support local communities.

That’s because this notable event is more than just a race — it’s a cause that promotes fitness awareness and gives back to charities.

As such, Moving Ahead Services could not be prouder to be a 2021 partner. As the official moving and storage provider of the Cleveland Marathon, we are eager to help the event make an even bigger impact.

Read on to learn more about the race, our partnership, and how you can make a difference.

What is the Cleveland Marathon?

The Cleveland Marathon is an annual race that takes place in Cleveland, Ohio. It began in 1978 to bring positivity to a city that was facing a severe blizzard.

Originally, the race focused on providing a fun activity for locals and promoting fitness education. As the years went on, the event started attracting participants from across the country and beyond. The establishment of 501(c)3 Cleveland Marathon Charities in 2007 solidified the organization’s commitment to local charities.

Our Partnership With the Cleveland Marathon

Moving Ahead Services launched in 2005 with a fierce commitment to ethical business practices. Since then, our values have not changed.

We are passionate about giving back to the communities that make our business possible. Accordingly, we seek to do good in our service areas ranging from Tampa to Pittsburgh to, yes, Cleveland.

While we partner with several organizations, the Cleveland Ohio Marathon has a special place in our hearts. We love that the event gives money to worthy charities like Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and Prayers From Maria.

And, of course, the event itself is tons of fun!

Participants from all over the world come together to indulge in their love of running. The event is very inspiring and shows us the impact that Cleveland Marathon partners and participants can have.

What is a long-distance move?

Moving Ahead Services is a fully licensed and insured long-distance moving company that has completed thousands of long-distance moving projects.

It’s not just our customers that enjoy the satisfaction of growth and change.  Moving Ahead Services, the premier, full-service moving company based in Cleveland and serving the Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Tampa markets, is moving!  Our homegrown moving company is happy to report a need to move to a new facility, to allow for more space, due to our measured growth in every market we serve.

A two-year thought process has resolved in Moving Ahead Services going from renting a 7,500 sqft space to now owning a 40,000 sqft facility, a strategic business decision that will better serve our customers going forward. Our new facility and location is part of our strategic business plan to continuously improve our services and keep our own costs low.  We strive to make ourselves a better company for our loyal clients and new customers.  Our 50+ employees are thrilled to remain based in Willoughby, a suburb on the East side of Cleveland. In choosing the new location, the company reiterates its commitment to maintaining employee morale as much as it shows our goal of delivering excellent customer service.

Cleveland offers a variety of great areas for warehouse spaces that are necessary operating requirements for a moving company.  True to its industrial roots, the city caters to manufacturers and industrial activities, and the decision process for Moving Ahead Services considered many factors.  First, the location had to be cost-effective.  Second, it had to offer the right amount of end-user storage space, business-operation space for trucks, supplies, crates, etc., and office-operations space to create an efficient and friendly environment for our valued staff.  Third, we preferred to stay in the heart of Willoughby allowing for easy access to the Interstate and the greater Cleveland area.

The new location is in the same office park as the previous warehouse, located at Topps Industrial Parkway in Willoughby.  We invite our family, friends, and current and new customers to visit our new location, tour our facility, and meet our office and warehouse staff.  Moving Ahead Services loves referrals and our satisfied customers are our best marketing!
