Circleville Classic 5K Run/Walk

Circleville Classic 5K Run/Walk takes place in Circleville, Ohio, on October 24, 2026, with the in-person 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. around Circleville High School and the Roundtown Trail. A virtual option is offered as well, with the race shirt mailed out, so you can take part from wherever you are. Proceeds support the Circleville High School athletic department and its alumni association.

The in-person race is a solid autumn target: 3.1 miles is short enough to prepare for in four to six weeks of regular running with one weekly session at hard effort, and cool Ohio mornings in late October make for quick times. If you choose the virtual version, pick a flat, measured route and treat it like a real race, with a warm-up and a controlled first half, otherwise the effort tends to drift into an ordinary training run.
