Why The WingMan 10k?
On 21 July 2008, our nation lost six of its military heroes in a B-52 crash off the coast of Guam. One of those heroes was my best friend, Joshua Shepherd, who I called my “WingMan” and who commissioned with me just a few years earlier. At his funeral, several of his friends committed to completing the Air Force Marathon the next year in his honor, and from then forward, every year I have tried to honor his memory by both doing something positive and by running a race on the anniversary week of his passing. In 2014 I combined those ideas and became the race director for a new ORRRC race — the WingMan 10K — one that I hope will honor him and the values he taught me: be a friend to everyone, chase your goals, and never leave someone behind. I hope that you will join us and bring a friend to our race to remember a great father, brother, son, and most of all a great friend, as well as all of those who have given their lives serving our great nation! — Eddie Weaver
Race Concept
The WingMan 10K is all about meeting fellow runners and teamwork! Therefore, we have a unique race structure to encourage you to meet others and cheer them on as your team works to beat the other teams!
TEAMS – Each runner will be randomly assigned one of six teams (yellow, green, blue, orange, red, or purple) and each walker will be assigned one of two teams (black or gray), and given a wrist-band of that color. Team assignments will be randomized to make sure the numbers-per-team are approximately even.
WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING COMPETITIVE? – That’s ok! We have non-competitive black and gray color-teams for you so that you can just take part (walking or running) in the event without the fear of “bringing a team down” (you wouldn’t do that anyway – this race is about building each other up!). We’d rather have you at our event than have you stressed! <3
STAGGERED START – Runners will start on a staggered start (colloquially called a “handicapped start”) based on their age/sex, with “Women 70+ years old” starting 32 minutes before “Men 20-34 years old” (and everyone else in between in “Waves”). This will help even out the teams and negate any benefit to having an age/sex-stacked team, allowing teams to evenly compete with each other. (Note: The chip-timing results will reflect your true race time, but you’re encouraged to bring your own watch if you want a very precise time.)
AWARDS – The first 25 runners overall, plus the first color team of runners and first color-team of walkers with their team-members into the finish will earn an award!
REGISTRATION:
Pre-registration online: through RunSignup. Minors may be registered in advance by a parent or guardian, and must have the liability waiver signed by the parent or guardian (online through RunSignup or in person on the registration sheet at the event). All pre-registered participants will pick up their timing chip at the green table on race day.
Race Day Registration: available online until 15 minutes before race start time; hard copy registration sheets also available if needed. We recommend you arrive at least one hour before the race to park, register, and warm-up prior to the race start.
FEES:
All Current Members Run for Free (fee waived automatically during RunSignup registration, or bring your card/proof of membership to the event)
Free – Military & Veterans (w/DD-214 or military/VA ID Card)
Non-Members:
– $10 for ages 15 and up
– Free for ages 14 and under

The Little Miami Half Marathon and 10K is a flat and fast scenic half marathon run along the banks of the Little Miami River. Are you training for a fall marathon or half marathon? This race is a perfect tune-up! Plus, the entire course is run on a shaded bike path, which is a big bonus during Ohio’s humid summer months!
The race starts and finishes in Morrow, OH, just a few miles east of King’s Island, and travels through South Lebanon and Kings Mills. A killer tech shirt, chip timing and a party-like atmosphere at the finish are guaranteed to make this race a kickin’ good time!
