Each of the races is designed to get both local Boy Scouts and members of the community involved in this event, to promote both athleticism and an active and healthy lifestyle as well as the Scouting values and traditions, as Scouts of all ages will participate in the race by volunteering at the start and finish line as well as the water stations throughout the course.

The event’s Boy Scout Half Marathon follows an out-and-back loop course that starts and finishes under the grandstands at the Wood County Fairgrounds on West Poe Road. From there, Your run will take you through eclectic downtown to the Slippery Elm Trail, out to Haskins Rd, before taking a right onto Newton Rd. and another right onto Fairview ave. Runners will make their way along Main St. in Downtown Bowling Green and through the Black Swamp Preserve. After exiting the preserve runners will take a right onto Wintergarden Rd. and follow Pine alley Dr. out to Mitchell Rd. for a view of the BG Wind Farm. After the wind farm, the course takes a right onto Conneaut Ave, which meets up once again with Fairview ave just one mile from the finish. Quick turns on Poe Rd. Jefferson Dr. and Brim Rd. will take runners back to the finish line at the fairgrounds.
