Two Courses and One Big Finish!
We have 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.
