Organiser's description

The 8th Annual Pawpaw 4 Miler and 1 mile fun run/walk will take place in conjunction with the 26th Annual Ohio Pawpaw Festival that takes place every September at Lake Snowden in Albany, Ohio -- the race will be Sunday of the festival, September 15, and start at 9:00am.

The Pawpaw 4 Miler is a classic cross country style race run on a mixture of grass, trails, and gravel surfaces, with potential for a few more fun obstacles along the route! Whether you are in it to run fast, or to simply enjoy the scenic Southeastern Ohio park, this race will be a great event for all levels, including a 1 mile fun run/walk for children, families, or those who just want to take it easy.

This low-key event may be capped off with a cold pawpaw popsicle, but over the years it's also been a fun competitive venture once the race starts! You'll have a professionally timed and set up race without all the frills of some major road races. We encourage you to come for the entire weekend and visit the Ohio Pawpaw Festival, before running the race on Sunday morning. This weekend is all about the pawpaws!
