About the Run To Feed The Hungry - Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, 1mi & Kids Dash
The course runs on paved trail at Scioto Audubon Metro Park, starting and finishing at the same line across every distance. Several distance options are available, from a short kids dash up through a half marathon, so families often show up with runners of very different abilities. Proceeds go toward local food pantries, which gives the morning a purpose beyond the race itself.
Packet pickup is race morning only, at the park. Parking is free in the lots near the central activity area. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and strollers are allowed on course. There is a water bowl set up for dogs at the finish, and the post-race spread includes baked goods from a local bakery.

The Run To Feed The Hungry - Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, 1mi & Kids Dash has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
