Northern Ohio Half Marathon, 2-Person Relay, and 5K

The Northern Ohio Half Marathon takes place in Mentor, Ohio, at Headlands Beach State Park. This autumn event offers participants a variety of race formats along the Lake Erie shoreline. The course allows runners to experience the local landscape and seasonal scenery during the month of October.

Participants can choose from the following distances and formats:

  • 13.1 miles (Half Marathon)
  • 13.1 miles 2-person relay
  • 5K run or walk

Registration for the event includes a finisher medal and a T-shirt for all participants. The event provides two opportunities for packet collection. Early packet pick-up is available at Second Sole Mentor on the Saturday preceding the race. On the day of the event, participants can also collect their packets at Headlands Beach State Park.

The half marathon and the relay segments both cover the same total distance, while the 5K offers a shorter alternative for runners and walkers. All events transition through the northern Mentor area, featuring views of the lake and surrounding natural environments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
