There are a few ways you can support the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio through this event! You can register for the race; register and create a team to not only encourage your friends and family to join you in the race but to also challenge yourself, family, and friends to help you raise funds for the EAO; register and join your favorite team; donate to your favorite team or donate to the EAO to help fund our vital programs and services. No donation is too small!

The Epilepsy Alliance Ohio is dedicated to supporting those impacted by epilepsy in local communities by confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures. The Epilepsy Alliance Ohio (new name same mission) has been in existence since 1953; we provide direct services to optimize each person's understanding of epilepsy and to improve their methods of coping with epilepsy.

We have a new program where you can earn money back on your registration simply by referring others to the event.

Here is how it works:

  1. Register yourself

  2. When you receive your confirmation in your email, share the unique referral link with others you know.

  3. When those that you refer, register using your unique referral link, you earn a credit.

  4. When you have earned 5 referral credits (paid registrations), you will automatically receive $5 back on the credit card you used to originally register. After the 5 referrals have been achieved, thereafter for every paid registration that you refer you will receive $1 back. We will only stop paying for referrals once the amount you receive back in referral money equals the amount you paid for your registration.

Very Important - In order to receive a referral credit, the people you refer HAVE TO use your unique referral link to register. We are unable to make any manual adjustments.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact us. If you can't find your referral link, let us know and we can resend your confirmation to you. You can also find your confirmation in your runsignup.com account (created when you registered). Thank you so much for your support!

    Dirt Days Trail Series - French Park Creek Crossings

    Sunday, June 21, 2026 9:00 am

    French Park, Cincinnati, OH

    French Park originally started out in its entirety as a farm, is now one of the city's most picturesque parks. The 3.6 mile course will take runners through almost everything that the park has to offer. Starting at the top of the hill, runners will descend down into the meadow, through the tall grass, and then run the perimeter before heading into the interior of the park. The course will follow the creek and cross it several times, giving runners the option to either tiptoe over stepping stones, use log bridges, or dash directly through it. The course will then gradually rise back to the shelter and meadow where it began. The event coincides with Father's Day for 2026.

    This is the Fourth leg of the Dirt Days Trail Series.

    Location:

    3012 Section Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45237

    [runningcrews.com] [runningcrews.com] - Facebook - Instagram

    Founded in 2018 by Andrew, the Roebling Runners are a close-knit running crew of about 20 members based in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Named after the iconic Roebling Bridge, their runs celebrate the city’s unique blend of urban energy and natural beauty while fostering a welcoming community. The crew’s relaxed, inclusive vibe embraces runners of all abilities, focusing on connection and exploration rather than competition. Regular Tuesday morning runs start at a local coffee shop with easy routes to the bridge, while longer Saturday runs explore scenic riverbanks and neighborhood streets. By weaving social moments with running adventures, the Roebling Runners build lasting friendships and strengthen ties within Cincinnati’s vibrant running culture. Their small but dedicated group embodies the spirit of the city, making running an opportunity to discover shared history, support one another, and experience the rhythms of life along the Ohio River.
