Welcome to a race presented by the Ohio River Road Runners Club!
If you're not familiar with the Ohio River Road Runners Club, we're a 100% all-volunteer 501(c)(3) Ohio Non-Profit club dedicated to promoting running and supporting the local running community in and around Dayton, Ohio. We are one of the largest (and we think BEST) clubs in the nation.
This is one of our "small races", meaning it is free for ORRRC members, free for anyone 14 and under, and only $10 for everyone else. If you're not a member, you'll have the option to join when you register - for only $35 per year, you get 20+ races from 1 mile to half marathon distances, on roads and trails, included!
What can you expect from an ORRRC "small race"? A great team of volunteers, most of whom are runners, committed to providing a high-quality event with well-designed courses and support for runners and walkers of all abilities. There won't be shirts or finisher medals, but for $10, you'll get a chip-timed finish (from our all-volunteer timers!), refreshments, maybe a small age group award depending on your finish, and a chance to challenge yourself or meet others in the Dayton running community. We hope you'll join us and have some fun!
