Road Apple Run

Lace up your running shoes for the unique Road Apple Run, a refreshing 5K road race taking place on March 7, 2026, in Ashland, Ohio. This out-and-back course offers a scenic journey through northern Richland County, providing runners with views of peaceful Amish farms. The terrain is largely flat, featuring only slight upgrades, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for all paces. However, prepare for a distinctive challenge: navigating the "exhaust" from frequently traveling horse-drawn vehicles, a charming and memorable aspect of this rural route.

The race starts and finishes at Crestview High School, located at 1575 St Rt 96, Ashland, OH 44805, with race day registration commencing in the commons area. Typical race day conditions in early March see highs around 43°F and lows around 26°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, so dress accordingly. Beyond the unique course, participants will be contributing to a good cause, as all proceeds support the Crestview High School cross country and track teams. Following your run, the Savannah Lions Club hosts a post-race breakfast, available by donation, providing a perfect opportunity to refuel and connect with fellow runners.
