The state of Ohio is known for its Great Plains. From the lowlands in the north to the sandy beaches of Lake Erie you’ll find diverse routes and trails alongside city routes to explore. Whether you’re heading out for your first ever race, or you’re a seasoned road warrior looking to shave seconds off your personal best, you’ll find the right challenge here. Choose from major events in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati or use the filters below to narrow down by date, location and distance.

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.

For the ultimate challenge, check out listings of Ultra Running events in Ohio with plenty of tough 50 and 100 mile races available.

And it doesn’t have to be all about running for training - why not take part in fundraising to put dollars behind your miles and raise money for charity?
