4 Miles Run

If you have ran the beloved BBO race in the past, you already know this familiar course. Paying tribute to this local tradition, we're partnering with local businesses to revive it to be the great race it's been known for. Race starts and ends near Rocky’s “Miller’s Lunch” in downtown Columbus Grove, Ohio. The course is a flat, 4 miles all on paved roads. Prizes awarded to the top male and female finishers in each age division, as well as cash prizes for the top 3 male and top 3 female overall finishers.

Pre-Registration deadline is March 3rd. Shirt sizes only guaranteed if pre-registered; size selection will be limited on race day. Pre-Registration can be done in person at both the Columbus Grove and Ottawa YMCA locations, over the phone, by mail, or online.

    Please join us for the 5th annual Bad Dog 5000 this June 13 at the Carry-it Party Shop in Ottawa, Ohio. This race was founded to honor 2 very special ladies, Sam and Carol. 100% of the proceeds got to the Putnam County CAP. This amazing organization helps with expenses for people going through treatment for cancer.

    This year will be a night race with registration opening up at 6pm, and race beginning at 7:15pm. We also upgrade the prizes to customized beer glasses for the winners, and as always we have a SICK design for the T-shirts this year!

    You will want to stick around for the after party too! Drink tokens for every runner, good for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. We will also have a 50/50 raffle that night as well.

    This is a family friendly event. Bring the kids and run, jog, walk, bike, or rollerblade. We don’t care, everyone is welcome!
