Camelback Run

Lace up for a tradition steeped in local running culture at the 47th Annual Camelback Run, hitting the streets of Fremont, Ohio, on Saturday, June 13, 2026. This esteemed event, proudly sponsored by the Fremont Elite Runners Club, offers participants the choice of a challenging 10K or a spirited 5K, along with youth races for the younger enthusiasts. Known as one of the area's finest road races, the 10K distance has previously held the distinction of being the RRCA Ohio State 10K Championship, attracting both competitive athletes and casual runners alike.

The Camelback Run promises an engaging experience, kicking off at 8:00 AM from 702 Croghan St, with race day packet pickup and registration conveniently located at St. Joseph Bishop Hoffman High School starting at 6:30 AM. While specific course details on elevation and scenery are kept under wraps, the 10K is consistently described as a "challenging" route, offering a rewarding test for those seeking to push their limits. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable lows around 60°F and highs around 81°F, alongside a modest 16% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the competition, the Camelback Run fosters a vibrant community atmosphere, culminating in lively post-race festivities in downtown Fremont. All pre-registered participants are guaranteed a race shirt, and awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, masters, grand masters, and top finishers across various age groups in both the 10K and 5K races. Join fellow runners for a memorable day of sport and camaraderie.
