Lace up your shoes for the Crazy Long Run, a unique and community-focused event taking place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Whitehouse, OH. This isn't just a race; it's the ultimate training run, perfectly timed for runners preparing for the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon Races. Offering distances of 22 miles and 11 miles, or even the flexibility to choose your own mileage, the Crazy Long Run welcomes participants to the scenic Oak Openings Metroparks.

The course itself is a highlight, utilizing the beautiful Oak Openings Trails and a section of the historic Wabash Cannonball. Runners will navigate an 11-mile loop, with those tackling the 22-mile challenge repeating the route. A single water station will be available to keep you refreshed, and the course will be clearly marked, allowing you to focus on your run. After completing your chosen distance, join fellow runners for post-run food and drinks, celebrating a morning of "Crazy Fun memories" and camaraderie rather than formal timing or awards. The event begins at 8:00 a.m. from the Mallard Lake Shelter House, with a generous four-hour window to complete your training.
