Description

Go Bucks and Go Blue during this 9th annual event in downtown Sandusky. There isn’t a better way to start the morning of the Ohio State/Michigan game day than “Dotting the i” or “Blocking the M.” And you can do both in this one-of-a-kind event. There is no other city with a unique street grid like Sandusky's to complete this kind of course.

The “Dot the i” course is approximately 5 miles and the “Block the M” course is approximately 4 miles. 
(Note: The "Dot the i" finish line will close at 10:30 a.m. Any participants unable to finish the course within that time are recommended to complete the Big O course instead)

The OH-IO Two-person relay. Split the Script Ohio course with one other person and each of you complete about 2.5 miles of the course. 

The Big O, a one-mile walk option to complete just the O in Ohio.

Registered Participants (By November 18, 2024) receive long-sleeved shirts and are to use sidewalks and obey all traffic laws during the event.

PLACE: Monroe Street at Cameo Pizza and Central Park

COURSE: Ohio State fans will start at Cameo Pizza and run/walk the sidewalks of Sandusky completing Script Ohio (approx. 5 miles) and “Dot the i” at the finish. Michigan fans will start and finish at Cameo Pizza and run/walk the sidewalks of Sandusky completing the Block M (approx. 4 miles). 

DATE: Saturday, November 30, 2024
