Hueston Woods Trail Race

The Hueston Woods Trail Race takes place at Hueston Woods State Park in Ohio, offering a variety of trail running events over a weekend in late September. Participants can choose from distances including a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 20K relay, and a unique "6 Hours of Power" endurance challenge. The courses feature mixed terrain such as single track trails, pavement, and grass, with elevation gains ranging from 140 to 900 feet depending on the race.

The half marathon consists of two loops starting and finishing at the Hedge Row picnic area.
