Description:

One of Ohio’s hardest half marathons.

The Iron Furnace Trail Runs take place at the beautiful Lake Hope State Park and Zaleski State Forest. 13.1 mile runners meander along single-track trails taking in the beautiful views and traversing into the rugged and remote Zaleski State Forest. Along the way runners will be treated with deep gorges, scenic overviews, and rocky outcroppings, and complete what many consider the hardest half marathon in Ohio. 4.5 mile runners will complete a more tame course and run along the shores of Lake Hope. Whatever distance you choose, you’ll be sure to run on a great course and have a memorable experience at the Iron Furnace!
