ORRRC Summer Solstice Half Marathon

Embark on an exhilarating trail adventure at the ORRRC Summer Solstice Half Marathon, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the scenic John Bryan State Park in Yellow Springs, OH. This challenging 13.1-mile (approximately 13.5-mile) trail run invites runners of all abilities to experience the stunning natural backdrop of the park. Known for its well-designed courses and supportive atmosphere, this event promises a memorable journey through diverse terrain.

As one of the Ohio River Road Runners Club's popular "small races," the Summer Solstice Half Marathon offers a unique, community-focused experience. Expect a high-quality, chip-timed event delivered by a dedicated team of volunteers. While traditional finisher medals and race shirts are not provided, the first 200 runners to cross the finish line before the 1:00 p.m. cutoff will receive a special award. Aid stations will be strategically placed throughout the course to support runners. The race kicks off at 8:00 a.m. with parking available at John Bryan State Park, located at 3790 State Route 370, Yellow Springs, OH.

Typical race day conditions in late June can see highs around 84°F and lows around 60°F, with a 19% chance of precipitation, so runners should prepare for warm summer weather. This affordable event is free for ORRRC members and participants 14 and under, and just $10 for non-members, offering a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and connect with the vibrant Dayton running community.
