NEW 10k for 2026!

We will be celebrating the new Buckeye Trail section at West Branch State Park. The Buckeye Trail has recently been designated a State Trail by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and is only the third trail to receive this recognition. This new section is the first of more to come!

West Branch State Park is predominantly forested with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest is primarily oak-hickory and provides habitats for a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, pheasant, and songbirds. The dense canopy provides shade and cool temperatures in the warmer months making it perfect for hiking and running.

Marathoners will make their way around the eastern end of the lake crossing the dam and then continuing to the entrance to the campground before returning back to the beach. Half marathoners will finish at the turnaround and take a shuttle back to the finish party at the beach. 10k participants will complete an all-trail route from the beach to the dam and back.

    Two loops around the lake at Munroe Falls Metro Park on the paved path. The course is hilly and paved. We're simplifying the route slightly from previous years, by adding a short out and back on a service road (see map).

    • 1.55 mile fun (untimed) walk option (1 loop)

    • It's a great course for strollers and our four-legged friends.

    • Everyone will get an amazing custom tech shirt and custom finishers medal

    • We'll have plenty of treats to enjoy at the finish line.

    • Live DJ music.

    We will celebrate all paces by giving out awards to our speedier guests and then cheering on those finishing later. We'll also have some fun team competitions for the hairiest and largest.

    Awards will be given to the overall Female/Male winners (1, 2, 3) as well as to the following Age groups

    under 10, 10-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+
