5km is one of the most popular race distances and is perfect for fun runs or community events which multiple generations can take part in and enjoy. This shorter distance is also great for seasoned athletes to hone their race times.

Taking on a 10k race in Ohio is an achievable but challenging distance for beginners looking to move up from 5k races and test themselves with a longer run.

Looking for a bigger challenge? Take on one of the buckeye state’s many half marathons and tackle everything from challenging trail runs to city races in downtown Cleveland.
