ABOUT THIS RACE

Whether you're getting ready for that Fall full or half marathon or looking to test your summer training in a 5K, the Big Bad Wolfe Run is for you. We have race options of 5K, 10 miles, and 20 miles. Join us on September 22nd for something great, the Big Bad Wolfe Run. _This race is all on the paved asphalt Alum Creek Trail, IT IS NOT A TRAIL RUN._

We're going to deliver great swag, finisher medals for everyone, and a fun time. You're going to deliver the memories. Band together with the rest of the villagers and come run with us!

As you take part in the Big Bad Wolfe Run, you'll be joining in the tradition of keeping the big bad wolf at bay. [https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Columbus/BigBadWolfeRun?page=TheHistoricalRoots] Just as the folks of Central Ohio have done for generations, kick off your Fall by wearing red and hitting the paths in memory of Little Red.

NEW IN 2025!

We are pleased to add a 1-kilometer (0.62 miles) race option to this year's Big Bad Wolfe Run. This event is intended for all ages. If you're a youngster and our 200-meter kids run is a little too short for you, sign up for the 1K! If you're new to walking or running and the idea of making it through a 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) route is too intimidating, sign up for the 1K! All 1K Run/Walk participants will get the same participant swag as all other distances: a unique Big Bad Wolfe Run bib number, a fantastic finisher medal, and our world-famous comfortable full-zip lifestyle hooded sweatshirt. We've got a distance for you, and we hope to see you on Sunday, September 28!
