About the Event

Join us on Sunday, April 12, 2026 for the Towpath Half featuring a half marathon & 5 miler on the Towpath Trail in the Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation in Cleveland.

April is a great time to stay active, challenge yourself, and reconnect with the running community and our local trail system.

This is the first race in the 2026 Towpath Trilogy race series, our annual three-race series on different sections of the Towpath Trail in Cleveland that starts in April and ends in October.

Virtual races are also available for those who can’t join us on the day of the race.
