One of the oldest and most well-established road races run anywhere in Ohio, the Dayton River Corridor Classic Half Marathon will mark its 44th annual running this fall, as several hundred runners, walkers and wheelchair competitors are expected to lace up and join in the race.
They’ll run along the Great Miami River recreational bicycle paths that wind along the banks of the river by the same name that cuts through the city.
From the starting line on Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at Perc Welcome Stadium on the campus of the University of Dayton, the race takes participants along the opening stretch to the Stewart Street Bridge, where the field crosses over the river to Patterson Boulevard.
Once runners have left the starting line, they’ll head onto a combination of city streets and trails, winding throughout the city. Organizers note that the course time limit is 4 hours, which means the course will close at 1:00 pm.
Walkers are permitted, however organizers note that they should be able to finish the half marathon within 3 1/2 hours.
