About the Made in Ohio Half

The course starts and finishes at a bicycle shop along the Towpath Trail trailhead. The half marathon and ten-kilometer routes head out into rolling terrain before returning to the flat, paved towpath for the finish stretch. The shorter distance stays on that flat trail section throughout. Aid stations are spread across the course, with electrolytes and gels available on the longer route.

Packet pickup and registration open race morning at the same bicycle shop where you start and finish. Parking is scattered across several nearby lots, including a cinema and a few local businesses within easy walking distance of the start.

Common Questions About the Made in Ohio Half

Will I finish last at the Made in Ohio Half?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1094 Miles field finished slower than 2:09:38, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:30:20, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Made in Ohio Half a good first 13.1094 Miles?

It is a small race (171 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1094 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Made in Ohio Half?

The 13.1094 Miles winner ran 1:13:05 while the median finisher took 2:09:38. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
