About the London OH Marathon
The OH in the title matters: this is a regional race in London, Ohio, not the major-city marathon in England. Its scale and straightforward trail setting appeal to runners who value simplicity over spectacle.
Course
A paved rail-trail alignment keeps the marathon nearly level and removes many of the turns and climbs found on city routes. Certification supports qualifying performances, while the long straight sections reward steady concentration.
Race-day weather
Mid-April conditions in central Ohio are variable, with cool mornings, rain, wind and quick warmups all possible. Open trail segments may feel colder in a headwind than the temperature suggests.
