About the Westerville Donut Run and Walk
The course runs entirely on paved trails and sidewalks through Alum Creek Park North, crossing a bridge near the start and finish. The park entrance road is closed for the race, so there is no traffic to contend with. Distance options range from a short kids dash up to a longer run, with everyone starting and finishing at the same line. Donuts are waiting at the finish.
The park entrance is closed on race morning, so parking is across the road at the old Westerville Senior Center. Street parking near Otterbein University is also an option, though it is worth checking signs before leaving your car. Early packet pickup runs the evening before at a running store in Worthington, with race-morning pickup available at the park before the start.

The Westerville Donut Run and Walk has been held every year since at least 2023. 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.
