About the Zanesville City Half Marathon
The course starts and finishes in downtown Zanesville, winding through the city itself, so the surroundings are urban and historic rather than trail or park. The elevation change is real but manageable, spread across the route rather than concentrated in one brutal climb. Both the half marathon and the shorter option share that same downtown starting point.
Packet pickup the evening before is held at a downtown venue on Main Street. Race morning pickup is available at a separate location on Shinnick Street, though the organizers are clear that arriving early and picking up the night before makes for a calmer morning. Post-race food and drinks are at the finish line.

The Zanesville City Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2018. 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.
