ORRRC Xenia Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 10K is a running race on April 4, 2027 in Xenia, OH, with entry fees from $40 to $55.
The ORRRC Xenia Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 10K are scenic, fast courses through the town of Xenia, Ohio! The race is a community tradition that has been going strong for over 50 years! Every year we learn and grow based on feedback from the previous year's event and we’re positive 2027 will be our best event yet. We hope you'll run with us in 2027!
COURSE
The races run concentric paths, with the same start, turn-offs for the half-marathon and 10K, and the same finish line! The course starts at the Xenia YMCA, then runs into downtown Xenia before taking a tour of some of its neighborhoods, then using a mix of scenic rail-trail and neighborhood streets to get you home to the finish line! Our marathon course continues to be a certified Boston Qualifier event!

RACE SHIRTS (Shirt Cut-Off Date: 28 March 2027)
Same as last year, we're taking a more environmentally friendly approach to our race shirts. Participants registering before the shirt cut-off date will have the option to decline a race shirt when registering (we get it - sometimes there just isn't room in the closet for another race shirt). If you decline a race shirt (before the shirt cut-off date) you will receive a $10 discount off your registration fee! Those registering after the shirt cut-off date will pay the price listed for their event during that registration period. Shirts are not guaranteed after the shirt cut-off date.
CHARITABLE BENEFITS
The ORRRC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with a mission to encourage running and walking throughout the Miami Valley and Dayton region! This race supports us in that mission, by providing our all-volunteer organization with the funds to enable several youth running programs in the area, provide educational scholarships to deserving members of our running community, and to provide no/low-cost races to our members to remove fiscal barriers to fitness! We offer the ability for participants to make additional donations to the ORRRC Community & Scholarship fund through RunSignUp. 100% of additional donations made by participants will go towards the club's support of youth running programs & educational scholarships.
FOOD & AMENITIES
Our race has a wonderful post-race party with warm food items and all of the standard race fare (e.g. water, bananas, energy drinks, soda, etc.)! Also In 2027, we’ll strive to offer an even better selection of finish line snacks for our athletes! More to come on event food offerings!
