Little Miami Half Marathon

The Little Miami Half Marathon and 10K is a flat and fast half marathon and 10K running race along the banks of the Little Miami River, just northeast of Cincinnati. The course runs along the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the fourth longest paved trail in the United States. The trail itself is a 68.5 mile trail running from Springfield to Newtown. This trail is a former railroad right-of-way, so there is no vehicular traffic allowed along the route. However, there are multiple viewing points where family and other spectators can watch and cheer on the runners.

Notice From the Clark County Park District:

Wolf Creek Trail Intermittent Closures

Construction near the Wolf Creek Trail, between North Broadway Street and West Riverview Avenue, will result in periodic trail closures. The construction will also close portions of Dakota Street. These closures are expected to happen sporadically starting July 22 through Oct. 1. and may make this portion of the trail impassable.

Bike the Aviation Heritage Trail

The Miami Valley Trails connect dozens of communities and natural spaces across 10+ counties in west-central Ohio. But they also connect a very special set of sites telling the story of this region's aviation history. Aviation Trail, Inc., is a non-profit corporation in partnership with the National Park Service to promote Aviation Heritage in the Dayton region. Aviation Trail, Inc. has developed a "Passport" program highlighting a dozen locations that recount the region's history in the development of powered flight.

Shout Out in Ohio Magazine!

The June 2025 issue of Ohio Magazine includes a story, "13 Must-Do Summer Activities in Dayton." Spoiler alert: The Miami Valley Trails made the list.

There's a lot of great things in Dayton, and we agree that the Miami Valley Trails are in the Top-13. Check out their article and see how many of the Top 13 you would like to do.

Closures for Safety Upgrades

The Simon Kenton Trail within the City of Urbana is scheduled to close for a 14 day duration on a date to be determined. A pending trail closure notice has been installed along the trail at College Way/Muzzy Road and at Julia Street. Once the trail is closed, a signed trail detour will be in place for trail users. This closure/detour is necessary as part of a grant funded safety project to improve the existing trail crossings on Miami Street and North Main Street.
