The Experience

The Yeti Trail Run series invites participants to explore the natural beauty of Cincinnati's French Park, a course known for its wooded perimeter, meadow areas, and a creek bed rich with fossils. Runners can choose from 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and 30K distances, with the longer races incorporating loops of the 10K route.

The half-marathon and 30K events include a finisher t-shirt, and all participants receive a themed finisher medal. The series points system offers a chance for travel awards for top male and female finishers. With an average temperature of 59–75°F on race day, it's a well-supported event for both runners and walkers.
