Air Travel

Competitors and visitors should fly in to the Cleveland-Hopkins Internationals Airport (CLE). From the airport, you can take Cleveland’s RTA Red Line public train directly to Tower City Station, where the Renaissance Hotel and contest venue are located. The ride is less than 30 minutes, and there will be signage to help direct you to the event once you arrive. RTA’s Airport Station is on the lower level of the terminal complex. To reach it, take the elevators or escalator near the center of the ticketing and baggage claim levels.

The Red Line operates 7 days a week from approximately 4:00 am until approximately 12:30 am. Riding the Rapid costs $2.25 each way for a one-vehicle or train ride. Exact fare is required, and credit/debit cards can be used. The Red Line uses a Proof of Payment system. Keep activated passes and farecards handy in case Transit Police ask to see your Proof of Payment.
