Spooky Sprint- Cleveland

Greenway Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

Chippewa Creek Challenge

The Chippewa Creek Challenge is an autumn trail half marathon held in Brecksville Reservation, a part of Cleveland Metroparks in Ohio. It is included in the Dirty Trail Series and accommodates hikers and trail runners, even those new to this type of course. The route features varied terrain and elevation, with steep climbs and winding paths through the reservation. Participants who finish get a medal and a triblend t-shirt. The race logo references the Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson salamanders native to the Chippewa Creek area, which migrate to vernal breeding pools in the spring.

Friends of the Parks Half Marathon, 10k, & 5k

The Friends of the Parks Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K is a paved race series held at Coshocton Lake Park in Coshocton, Ohio. Participants can select the 13.1-mile half marathon, a 10K run/walk, or a 5K run/walk. All three distances are chip-timed. The course includes some gentle slopes, making it not entirely flat but still manageable for many runners. The 5K route is contained within the Lake Park Complex bike trails. The 10K and half marathon incorporate parts of Coshocton city streets. Children under 12 may enter the 5K without charge, adding a family-friendly aspect to the event. All finishers receive a medal. Packet pickup is offered before and on race day, and another person can pick up a packet for a registered runner.

Run with Scissors

Run with Scissors begins and ends at Riverdale Regional Park in Brighton, Colorado. All races start at 7:00 a.m. during the spring. The series offers runners three distance options: a half marathon, a marathon, and a 50K. A 9-hour time limit applies to all three distances, catering to long-distance runners seeking an extended period on the course rather than a brief, speed-focused event. The race honors its name with a custom scissors-shaped medal. Finishers also receive a race-specific wicking beanie and a 16-ounce pub-style drinking glass. A portion of the proceeds benefits Almost Home Inc., a nonprofit charity. Previous events featured Darla’s vegan chili, prepared with sweet potato, quinoa, black beans, kidney beans, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, and garlic-and-herb pasta sauce.

Turkey Trails- Cleveland

Turkey Trails Cleveland is an annual Thanksgiving-themed running event offering a half marathon, 10K, 5K, untimed 1 mile, and a kid's dash. The main races feature chip timing, live results, and awards, while the shorter family options are less competitive. Registration for the half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1 mile includes a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. This event is designed as a family holiday run rather than a competition exclusively for serious runners. Children 10 and under can participate in the untimed dash, receiving a mini bib, youth shirt, and a kid-specific medal, or they can run without the extra items. The 5K and 10K also provide youth pricing for participants 12 and under. Post-race treats, complimentary photos, and a virtual race option are available; virtual participants can run at their own location and still receive the event merchandise.

Bobcat is a November trail race at Burr Oak State Park in Ohio, offering marathon and half marathon distances. The course is predominantly off-road, with trails comprising about 90 percent of the route. It accommodates both runners and hikers, not exclusively competitive racers. The marathon has an 8-hour time limit, and the half marathon has a 7-hour limit, allowing ample time for participants maintaining a consistent trail pace. The marathon features a single-loop course with undulating terrain, multiple creek crossings, and segments of the Buckeye Trail. The half marathon is a point-to-point race utilizing the same trail network. Burr Oak Lodge is the primary lodging for race weekend, with a room block available by phone, and it typically fills up around the event dates.

Sole to City Half Marathon, 2-Mile, & Kids Run

The second annual Sole to City event offers an iconic run through Mill Creek Park, finishing downtown. Kids 12 and under can run the downtown course for free. An afterparty with a celebration village is at Penguin City Brewing.

About Half Marathon races in Canton-Massillon

Canton-Massillon Training Notes

Canton-Massillon hosts 12 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Canton-Massillon off a small, steady race scene and a pile of short routes. Stadium Park works well for everyday miles, and Martindale Park gives you an easy event hub. The first route runs 16 km and climbs +121 m, so it is the clean pick when Z2 needs some bite. The second route runs 70 km and climbs +101 m, so intervals feel honest fast. The local calendar carries the anchor feel with Hospital Heroes Against Hunger 5K, Franksgiving Day 5K, Spirit of the Season / Frosty Frolic, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame Race Series.

Stark County Bicycle Club anchors the riding scene from Canton. SCBC formed in 1968, has 280 members, schedules over 700 rides every year, and logged nearly a quarter of a million miles in 2024. The club is mainly on-road, but trail and towpath rides still show up. The trail runs 5 miles of crushed limestone from Deerfield Ave N to Skyland Ave NW. 70 km. Locals use those for base miles, punchy efforts, and gran fondo legs.

May, June, and July carry the loudest race rhythm around Canton-Massillon. Stadium Park, Centennial Plaza, North Canton YMCA, Gervasi Vineyard, Kent State University - Stark Campus, and Fry Family Park all show up on the summer run calendar. The 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame Race Series spans Spring and Summer, and Half Marathon Weekend adds a three-person relay. SCBC keeps the wheels turning too, with members encouraged to ride through all all four seasons in northeast Ohio. Winter shifts both sports toward steadier Z2, shorter loops, and the December Spirit of the Season / Frosty Frolic dates on December 19th and December 13th.
