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.

Pumphouse Road Bridge is Closed
