  We have partnered with USA Race Timing and Event Management to bring you the Annual Dublin Pet Fair 5K race, sponsored by Pet Palace! The race will start and end at the Dublin Rec Center and will travel through the Indian Run Meadows Park with the turning point at the ML Red Trabue Nature Reserve.

  The purpose of the Dublin Pet Fair is to bring awareness to animal welfare organizations in the state of Ohio, to promote adoption of shelter and rescue pets, to showcase animal related vendors and sponsors, and to provide an educational and entertaining event for the public. Proceeds from this event will be utilized for spay/neuter efforts to help control pet overpopulation, a major concern faced by the rescue community in our state.

  Rescue organizations and shelters will bring along adoptable pets. Pet related business and organizations will be showcasing their products and services. The Southern Ohio Flying K9s will have multiple demonstrations and there will be pet races and a pet parade. The Rascal Unit will be conducting a wellness clinic from 12-3pm, providing vaccinations, microchips and preventative care at an affordable price. The first 50 microchips will be free of charge thanks to the generous donation from Pet FBI. In addition, there will be food trucks, raffles, items for sale and much more.

  ​

  Marathon must reads, and cut-off time details

  • Marathon Course Time Limit: Our permit from the city of Dublin limits the marathon race to a finishing time of 1pm. No early start times will be granted.

  • Full Marathoners must attend pre-race meeting at 7:40am!

  • It is up to each participant to keep track of their laps. We recommend all marathoners have a support person to help with this.

  • The course is measured and certified based on running just to the right of the dividing line between the curb and the black top, as well as following tangents.

  • 1 lap along the measured and certified course is exactly 1 mile.

  • We start the race 0.2 miles from the lap point/finish line so that you will run 0.2 miles for "lap 1", you will then run 26 more laps to get 26.2 miles as measured on the course. Technically you run 26.2 laps, but the timing software will register 27 laps since your first lap is only 0.2 miles.

  • If you run even 1 shoulder width farther out to the right (which most do inadvertently, you will run at least 1.023 miles per lap, resulting in 26.572 miles, add the 0.2 from the start, and you will end up with 26.72 miles, if not further on your GPS watch.

  • Do not stop when your watch tells you you have covered 26.2 miles. Stop when you have finished 26.2 laps!

  • Think LAPS, not miles. Most finishers end up running anywhere from 26.5 miles to 27.3 miles. Running the shortest possible route for 26.2 laps is exceptionally difficult on a mile loop course.
