On June 20th at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati, we will hold the 4th Annual “Run for Chief” race in honor of Jaden Woodard. Jay Chief, as he was often called, was born with a heart defect and underwent multiple heart surgeries by the age of two. At 11, his heart began to fail, and he required a heart transplant. In 2014, as a freshman at Summit, he received his new heart at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and was able to thrive socially and academically in the years following his surgery. He also ran for Summit’s cross country and track teams which is an extraordinary feat given his condition. Jay Chief graduated from Summit in 2018 and attended The Ohio State University as a finance major. Jaden interned at JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York City before the start of his senior year of college where he had the time of his life and made some of his closest friends. Jaden passed away on September 12, 2021 at the age of 21 after complications with his new heart.

The proceeds will continue to be donated to families at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital who have children receiving heart transplants just like Jaden did. Heart transplants are expensive, with an average cost of $1,670,000 before insurance, and families face additional costs such as long drives, hotel stays, and hospital food. Our goal is to alleviate a portion of that financial stress through our donations while also bringing a smile to the faces of the patients!Jaden’s legacy and positive impact continues to live on through the “Run for Chief” race through this race and the donations made at Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute.

Each and every year, one of the world’s most beloved bugs visits Ohio – proudly announcing their arrival with random sparks and flickers of glowing neon throughout the summer sky. Join us as we welcome and celebrate the most efficient light in the world… the firefly! (nearly 100% of the energy in the chemical reaction within the fireflies light organ is emitted light… it’s true)

Wait, what?!?! Overnight!?!?! Yes!!​

The race will start at 8pm, and it will be dark no matter which race you choose! So, even though the fireflies will help light your way, headlamps and/or flashlights are mandatory. Reflective gear, glow-sticks, and body-paint are encouraged.

Bring your family and friends, as the course will pass through the overnight group-camping area. Don’t forget the kids! They’ll have a race too! The kids mile will start promptly 30-minutes prior to the “big kids” race.

With our partners at Asics and Race Penguin, we’re happy to bring back

The Fast Rabbits Summer Nights Race Series!!!

Presented by: Asics and Race Penguin

Come race with Fast Rabbits all summer long!

One of the most frequent questions we get about Youth Running is “What are some kid friendly races that have a lot of kids running?”

While we can always recommend any Race Penguin event, we thought to ourselves: there should be a kid-centered event. One where kids could come and try out running events if they were new to it, or challenge themselves to run further or faster than they had before. Maybe even get ready for their cross country season in the fall!

So what is this?

A three event race series to take place in June, July, and August!

RACE DATESJUNE 11th JULY 16thAUGUST 13thThe races will start promptly at 6:00pm in the evening, so parents and kiddos can get to the races on time!

Sounds great! Where are the races?

We have a loop course at Glacier Ridge Metro Park. The races will start at the Dog Park area of the park (Google Maps pin here)Course Map (1 and 2 mile options)available here Course Map (1/2 mile option) available here

That’s fun! How much does it cost?

Individual events are $15.00 each, with an optional t-shirt add-on of $10.

If you sign up for all 3 events at once the cost is $40.

That’s a great deal for a summer of racing!

Anything else I should know?

Our partners at Asics will be at each event to hand out fun goodies and some snacks for pre/post run.

We’ll have some popsicles for after the race for athletes and parents to enjoy!

Make sure to craft a sign at packet pick-up to help you cheer on your young athlete!

My athlete has never raced before, can I run with them?

Yes, you can!

However due to to course and safety limitations we must stipulate that only 1 parent of a registered athlete can run with them at a time.

Otherwise, we ask that adults stay off the course as much as possible and let the kids have their fun!

Oh, What about Packet Pick-Up? Where/when will that be?

Will there be on-site Race Day registration and/or Packet Pick-Up?

We will have race day registration, and packet pick-up!If you are registering on-site on race day, be sure to bring your phone and/or credit card as our friends at Race Penguin will have a QR code to sign up using your phone.Volunteers may be able to assist you by walking you through on your phone, but may not be able to help sign you up.

How do I choose the distance my athlete will race? Can they switch distances?

Sure thing! We understand that young athletes have their ups and downs just like adult athletes. It’s best to talk with your athlete multiple times before race day to see what distance they’d like to run. Try to ask them if they’d like to beat their previous best mile time, or try a new distance. It’s always good to remind athletes that it’s ok to be nervous about a race, but just remind them that they’ll learn something from each race experience no matter how it goes.

Athletes should try to make their decision before the race if possible, but if they need to switch after doing one loop they need to immediately tell the Race Penguin timing staff so we can ensure correct results.If they are switching from the 1/2-mile race to another distance, DO NOT START WITH THE OTHER 1/2 MILE RACERS. Please see the Race Penguin staff before the start of the race you’re planning on racing so they can switch you.

You will select your distance FOR ALL THREE EVENTS during registration. If you need to switch a distance for a particular event, please reach out as soon as possible.

Bring a used piece of athletic equipment to any of the races, and receive a portion of your race fee refunded!

We’re partnering with Leveling the Playing Field a wonderful organization that collects new and lightly used athletic equipment to expand access in youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities in central Ohio.We’ll have collection bins at each of the races, so please bring some lightly used or new athletic equipment for us to collect together!

We’ll collect your registration information and issue the refunds after the races!Click here to view their website and learn more!

The Kevin Peck Memorial Run was established in honor of Kevin Peck, a 1998 graduate of Northwest High School who was tragically killed in December of 2011. Kevin was a state qualifying track and cross country runner. His untimely death was a tragedy to all who knew him. In his memory, the Kevin Peck Perseverance Award Scholarship was created.

Kevin often lamented that the hardest step of running was the first. He held the belief that hard work would pay off, and once he got going, eventually he would reach his goal if he kept working.

The Kevin Peck Perseverance Award is presented to a Northwest High School Cross Country or Distance Track senior athlete whose performance dramatically improved from their first season running through their last. This does not necessarily mean the fastest runner or MVP. It is the athlete who reflects the determination, focus and drive that Kevin had to persevere, and become the outstanding runner that he was. To help support this award and the Northwest Cross Country and Track & Field Programs, please take the “First Step” and join the run!

Help us give back! A portion of the proceeds go to Blessings in a Backpack. 100% of the proceeds from the donation page (click the donate button above) go to Blessings in a Backpack.

The Blessings in a Backpack program in Marysville, Ohio, provides non-perishable food every week throughout the school year for children who might benefit from supplemental nutrition. We currently serve five elementary schools — Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, and Raymond — as well as Creekview Intermediate School. Every ‘blessing’ bag we send home for the weekend includes, at minimum, two breakfast items, two entree/protein items, and two healthy snacks. We also send extra items home for long weekends and extended breaks to help keep bellies full until kids return to school. We are 100% community-funded, meaning we couldn’t do what we do without the support of individuals, groups, churches, businesses, and organizations committed to ending childhood hunger and food insecurity alongside us. Thanks to the generous support of our community thus far, we’ve been able to serve anywhere from 140 to 285 kids per year since we started in 2012, and we are committed to standing in the gap for families in Marysville, Ohio, for many years to come.

The Hoot Half Marathon & 10k Trail Race
2026-09-06 08:00 - 14:00 | Alum Creek State Park Beach, 3083 Lewis Center Rd, Lewis Center, OH, 43035, United States
Join us at the Hoot!

In the early morning hours the elusive and fiercely predatory population of owls have haunted Rocks and Roots trail runners since time began.​Given their mysterious nocturnal habitats and often eerie vocalizations, owls are ripe fodder for superstitions. Owls have been considered omens of good luck, bad fortune, impendingdoom, wisdom, foolishness, evil and witchcraft, and even predictors of weather. Bizarre examples of owl mythology abound around the globe.

Behold the HOOT! While summer on the trails offers some of the best trail conditions, there is no shortage of challenge to be had! The rocks, the roots, and the heat of summer bring you our shortest distances, and the only half marathon we host on the trail.

The Miles for Manufacturing (M4M) 5K Run/Walk is a beloved tradition at IMTS, uniting the manufacturing community around two shared passions: staying active and giving back. Launched at IMTS 2014, the event has raised more than $250,000 to date-all of which goes directly to STEM programs around the country that prepare the next generation of innovators, makers and problem solvers; that 100% impact is possible because IMTS covers every production expense- from shirts, timing gear to permits and signage. Thanks to this support, every sponsorship dollar and every runner’s registration fee is invested in manufacturing education.
