Recurring Half Marathon races near Toledo

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Spooky Sprint - Toledo
SUN OCT 4
Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor
SAT OCT 24
Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor takes place in October at Kensington Metropark, featuring a half marathon, 10K, 5K, untimed 1-mile, kids' dash, and a virtual option. Bodies Race Company presents this event as part of its Holiday Series, designed for runners aiming for a personal best and families seeking a costume-welcoming fall activity. The longer races use chip timing with live results, while the 1-mile and kids' dash offer a relaxed pace. The half marathon begins in the morning, following park roads shaded by trees and paved trails around Maple Beach. The course has a fast, gently rolling terrain, avoiding steep hills. Costumes are welcome, and finishers will receive Halloween treats. Early registrants get race merchandise, including a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a medal. The kids' dash is open to children aged 10 and under, with a free option that does not include merchandise. Youth pricing is available for the 5K and 10K, making the shorter distances more accessible for families.
Turkey Trails- Toledo
SUN NOV 8
Turkey Trails-Toledo is a Thanksgiving morning 5K race and walk held at the Eastern Community YMCA on Pickle Road in Oregon, Ohio, near Toledo. The in-person 5K begins at 9am. Race-day registration and packet pickup are available starting at 7:30am. A virtual option is offered for those who wish to receive the shirt and support the YMCA Scholarship Fund without participating on-site. The course begins and ends at the YMCA, following a quick road route through city streets, with a water station provided. Runners can contend for overall, masters, grand masters, and age-group awards, while the walk remains non-competitive. The event embraces Thanksgiving traditions: the first male and female runners reaching the one-mile mark receive turkeys, costumes are judged in categories such as best turkey look-alike, and the finish area offers fruit, baked goods, sports drink, chip-timed results, and an awards ceremony.
Turkey Trails- Ann Arbor
SAT NOV 28
Turkey Trails Ann Arbor is an annual Thanksgiving-themed race day in Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring a half marathon, 10K, 5K, untimed 1 Mile, and Kids Dash. The main races use chip timing with live results, while the shorter family events keep the pressure low. The organizer offers youth pricing for the 5K and 10K, catering to families and runners focused on their times. The exact race location is listed as TBD, with the organizer working with local parks to build courses. The Kids Dash is for children 10 and under, starts just before the main race, and includes a mini bib, youth shirt, and medal. Most registrations include a custom bib, designer shirt, finisher medal, free photos, and finish-line treats, such as free pie. Awards are given to overall, masters, and age-group runners in the 5K, 10K, and half marathon. A virtual option is available for those who want the shirt and medal but cannot attend in Ann Arbor.
MERCY HEALTH GLASS CITY MARATHON
SAT APR 24
The Mercy Health Glass City Marathon is a spring marathon in Toledo, Ohio, run on a fast, flat 26.2-mile course organized by the Toledo Roadrunners Club. It draws a marathon field of up to 2,000 runners and is built for speed: it regularly ranks among the top 25 fastest marathons, and more than a third of the field runs a Boston Marathon qualifying time. The weekend also offers shorter races, with the Owens Corning Half Marathon, the Savage 5K, and the North Star BlueScope 5-Person Marathon Relay sharing the broader Glass City setup. The marathon and half marathon start on the University of Toledo campus and finish inside Glass Bowl Stadium, giving the race a clear college-campus anchor rather than a generic downtown finish. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles with about 3,000 runners, while the Savage 5K starts by the Clock Tower and ends on the stadium field with more than 1,000 finishers. The full marathon’s speed record is not just marketing: the race has produced the fourth-fastest American marathon, the fastest American marathon debut, the fastest marathon run in Ohio, and Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying performances.

About Half Marathon races in Toledo

Toledo Training Notes

Toledo hosts 9 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 Toledo through the Metroparks first, then fill gaps with town loops and river miles. Fleet Feet Toledo keeps beginners and marathon folks moving with No Boundaries 5k Training and 2026 training programs. Toledo Roadrunners Club has been sharing the sheer joy of running together in Northwest Ohio since 1976, and all paces welcome is real here. Glass City Marathon anchors the spring because it is a Boston qualifier. Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5k/10k and Toledo Flags River Run 4 Miler keep the calendar honest. Runners use Secor Metropark, Whitaker Woods, Glass City Metro Park, and 10 miles around BG for base miles.

Toledo Area Bicyclists owns the local ride rhythm, with recreational riding from slow to fast, short to long. B-Team Bike Club meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Levis Square, and locals call it a chill social ride around 10 miles at about 10 mph. University/Parks Bicycle Trail works for easy Z2. Riding the Towpath gives riders 31 km with 89 m of gain beside the Maumee River. Original Gravity Gravel Grinder runs 59 km with 250 m of gain. Maumee River Century+ stretches 179 km with 519 m of gain. Monclova brings the harder climbs, while South Toledo and Maumee stay easier.

April through October gives cyclists the cleanest weekend rhythm, and May through August adds weekday rides every day with Toledo Area Bicyclists. The temperature stays above 2 °C or more during the main season. Runners shift intervals early or late, then use park shade when the air gets thick. Winter changes both sports without ending either one. 6 nights. Some hardier Toledo Area Bicyclists members ride through the winter, and the Winter Warrior Challenge runs Saturdays from November through March.
