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.

The Chick-fil-A 5k (3.1) Mile Walk and Run! |
The new Chick-fil-A 5k Run/Walk is a fun distance for everyone—walkers, beginning joggers, rockstar runners. You can burn some calories, feel amazing, and get done sooner. It’s great for the whole family, and costs less to participate! We have expanded the course, so there’s more space for all your family and friends. What a great tradition for you and your family!
