The W & S 10k has a brand-new course all in Cincinnati with a start and finish at TQL Stadium! And more good news, when Total Quality Logistics (TQL) heard about the new race headquarters at TQL Stadium, they jumped on board to sponsor a new, shorter race—the TQL 5k—to make the event bigger and better for more runners and walkers. Now everyone can do it all—run, and walk, and still make it home in plenty of time for turkey and pumpkin pie.

Strollers are allowed for both the W&S 10k and the TQL 5k.
We only ask that they line up in the back of the line for safety reasons.
NO DOGS on the course.

Register for the first-ever 5k in 114 years.

You can walk/run with your family, friends, and colleagues and be done sooner! See the course maps further down the page.

The ProAmpac Kids Fun Run at 8:30am is a healthy way to have fun for children ages 5 to 10 years old. The half mile course starts on Liberty at TQL Stadium at the starting line banner. It’s a non-competitive out and back stretch where you can see your children the whole way and take some great pictures.
