Two New Courses and One Big Finish!

We have new expanded courses for both the Western & Southern 10k and the Chick-fil-A 5k! The Cincinnati Police and other City leaders have helped us open more roads to create a safer, smoother, and FASTER event! Both races will start together and eventually split in a very “orderly” way.

Strollers are allowed for both races. We hope you can start towards the back of the starting line for safety reasons. Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed on the course.
