TOLEDO FLAGS RIVER RUN 4 MILER at OSTRICH TOWNE 2026

The Toledo Flags River Run 4 Miler begins in Ostrich Towne, a commercial development in Downtown Toledo, offering runners a four-mile Independence Day race instead of a typical road loop. This in-person event is open to participants aged 9 and older, with a reduced fee for younger runners. A virtual 4-miler is also available for those participating remotely. The course crosses two downtown bridges over the Maumee River and goes through Glass City Metro Park. This route combines Toledo’s riverfront streets with one of the city’s recently developed park areas. The race coincides with America’s 250th anniversary, and its holiday timing suits runners aiming for a quick time as well as families seeking a morning activity before other Fourth of July events.
