Each event includes Hoka trail shoe demos, raffles, food and music.

Events occur on May 21, May 30 and June 3, 2026 at the following parks and hosts. Distances offered include:

Quarry Trails Metro Park hosted by Short North Run Club: two and four mile loops
Scioto Grove Metro Park hosted by German Village Run Club: approximately two and a half mile loops
