About the Medpace 5k
The course runs through Madisonville, a neighborhood on the east side of Cincinnati. The race is tied to a clinical research campus there, and the surrounding streets give it a genuinely local feel, the kind of morning that belongs to that neighborhood rather than to a park or a waterfront course.
