Towpath Half - Half Marathon and 5 Miler

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.

The Towpath Half and all Towpath Trilogy races benefit Canalway. Your participation directly supports the programming of the Towpath Trail, the development of Canal Basin Park, and dozens of other projects within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area, projects that make our community stronger and more vibrant.

Register today to run the half marathon course or 5 mile course at the Towpath Half Marathon on April 12!
