Event overview

The Run for Their Lives Half Marathon and 5K takes place on July 11, 2026 in Chillicothe, Ohio. The event location is listed as 405 Airport Road, Chillicothe, OH 45601. Distances offered include:

13.1 mi
5 km

Course and logistics

Both races use gravel roads in Scioto Trails State Forest. The route is described as tree-lined gravel roads rather than single-track trails, so runners do not encounter roots and rocks typical of narrow trail sections. The course includes a large hill shortly after the first mile and then continues through rolling forest scenery.

Reviews

At least one posted review praised the course but noted concerns about the entry cost. That review gave the course a 5.0/5 and the event organization a 2.5/5. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
