About the Ohio Trail Series-Fall 2026
This is a trail series that runs through the fall season, with races spread across several weekends at state parks and resort parks in the region. Distance options range from a short road-style effort up through a timed endurance format, so runners at very different points in their trail journey tend to show up across the calendar.
One of the mid-series races falls on Halloween, which gives that weekend its own personality. The venues shift from race to race, meaning the terrain and scenery change as the season progresses rather than repeating the same loop week after week.
