Fall Running Series - Peninsula, OH
The Fall Running Series is a sequence of five Tuesday evening trail races in Cuyahoga Valley National Park held on 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, and 10/27, 2026. Each event takes place at a different location in the park near Peninsula and covers between 3 and 5 miles on trails. Events are held regardless of weather conditions. For the fifth event at Camp Butler, participants have special permission to run or hike with dogs.
Series participants receive event swag that includes Feetures socks, a Nathan strobe light, and a finisher medal; individual race participants select from a grab bag assortment. Donations collected benefit the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Awards recognize the top three overall male and female finishers and the top three male and female finishers in 5-year age groups: 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70 & Over. Series scoring automatically enters participants and uses the first four races for points; the fifth race will be timed but will not count toward series points. Overall scoring by gender uses a 50-point base for first place, 49 for second, and so on. Age-group scoring by gender uses a 10-point base for first place with the highest four scores summed. A participant’s age is determined as of the fourth race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
