Little Miami Half Marathon and 10K

Lace up for the Little Miami Half Marathon and 10K on August 2, 2026, a beloved summer race originating from Morrow, Ohio. This event is celebrated for its flat and fast course, providing an ideal opportunity for a personal best or a perfect tune-up for fall marathons. Runners will embark on an out-and-back journey primarily along the paved Little Miami National Scenic Trail, known for its tranquil, shaded sections that offer welcome relief from typical race day conditions, which see highs around 84°F and lows around 64°F with a 15% chance of precipitation. The scenic route winds along the beautiful Little Miami River, offering picturesque views and a relatively constant elevation, making it accessible for all paces.

Starting and finishing at Phegley Park in downtown Morrow, the course briefly takes you through the charming village before joining the historic rail-trail, traveling through areas like South Lebanon and Kings Mills. Runners can expect excellent support with fully stocked aid stations offering water and electrolyte drinks at frequent intervals (miles 2.5, 3.25, 5.5, 7, 8.5, 10.75, and 11.5 for the half marathon), including gels at mile 7 and port-a-johns at miles 5.5 and 8.5. Participants consistently praise the race for its well-organized nature, dedicated volunteers, and a "low key" yet engaging atmosphere that creates a celebratory experience at the finish line expo, complete with finisher medals and post-race refreshments.
