About the race
The Great Miami Riverway Half Marathon is a 13.1 miles road race between Troy and Piqua in Miami County, Ohio. The course begins on Water Street at the Miami County Courthouse, follows roads near Duke Park, joins the bike path north on Adams Street, passes the Eldean Covered Bridge, exits the bike path in Piqua, and finishes near Crooked Handle Brewery. The event includes a standard half marathon and an early-start option for walkers that covers the same 13.1 miles; early-start walkers are asked to use sidewalks until course setup is complete. Finishers receive a commemorative medal.
Awards are given to the top three men and top three women overall and to the top three male and female placers in each age group: under 19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over. Packet pickup is scheduled the day before at Can’t Stop Running Company in Piqua and on race day in Downtown Troy near the start. Shirt options are long sleeve or short sleeve in unisex sizing while inventory lasts. Parking is available at Hobart Arena and Troy City Park; many downtown Troy streets will be closed for the race and a church service.
A courtesy shuttle will transport participants from the finish area back to Downtown Troy on a rolling basis. Registration is available online and in person on race day; fee tiers vary by registration date. No refunds are offered. A special award recognizes participants who have completed the race every year; runners reaching their ninth year receive a “Completed 157.2 miles” pint glass.
