Circleville Classic 5K Run/Walk 2026

The Circleville Classic is a 5K run/walk in Circleville, Ohio, held during Pumpkin Show week. The in-person race begins in the morning, with check-in opening earlier. No same-day registration is available. Participants can also opt for virtual 5K or 5-mile races. The current in-person course circles Circleville High School and utilizes the Roundtown Trail. The event previously featured a traditional 5-mile run, but the in-person race was shortened to a 5K due to safety concerns related to Pumpkin Show traffic. After completing the race, participants are located near downtown Circleville, adjacent to the Circleville Pumpkin Show, known as “The Greatest Free Show On Earth.”
