Lace up for an evening of challenging trail running at the George Rogers Clark Park 10K on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, in Springfield, Ohio. This renowned 10K trail race, presented by the all-volunteer Ohio River Road Runners Club (ORRRC), offers a unique and engaging experience for runners amidst the natural beauty and historical significance of George Rogers Clark State Park. Prepare to tackle a challenging course through scenic trails, historically known as the site of a major Revolutionary War battle.

Runners consistently praise ORRRC for its well-designed courses and the dedicated support provided by a team of runner-volunteers, ensuring a high-quality event for all abilities. This "small race" by ORRRC emphasizes the pure joy of running and community, foregoing finisher medals and shirts in favor of a chip-timed finish, refreshments, and age group awards for top performers. Adding to the distinctive atmosphere, past races have even featured a cannon blast to signal the start.

The race kicks off at 6:30 p.m. from George Rogers Clark State Park at 936 South Tecumseh Road, Springfield, Ohio, with ample parking available. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 70F and lows around 46F, with a minimal 18% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable trail adventure.
