Darby Creek Trail Run - Lake Darby

Lake Darby, United States • 11 Jul 2026

Overview

The Darby Creek Trail Run is an annual off-road running event held at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park in Galloway, Ohio. Now in its 15th year, the event takes place across the varied terrain of the park and serves to support FLIP, an organization focused on cancer prevention through a holistic and active lifestyle.

Course Details

Participants can choose between two distinct distances according to their preference and experience:

  • 5k Run/Walk
  • 10k Run

The 5k course is characterized by relatively flat terrain. This distance is open to both runners and walkers and is designated as a family-friendly option. Running strollers are permitted exclusively on this shorter course.

The 10k course offers a more demanding experience through the park's landscape. A notable feature of this route is a stair climb located at the end of the course. Strollers are not permitted on the 10k route due to the nature of the terrain.

Location and Environment

The event is staged within the Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, providing a scenic backdrop for the trail races. The venue is located at 1775 Darby Creek Dr, Galloway. The organization encourages participants of various fitness levels to attend and engage with the natural surroundings as part of a community-driven approach to health and prevention.
