Quick facts
- Half marathon entry is capped at 300 runners, with a 3 hour course limit.
- Flat and varied city route, positioned as a tune up for fall marathons.
- Water stops staffed by uniformed Scout troops, and entry includes a post-race pancake breakfast.
- Recent fields have run around 175 half marathon finishers.
Course
The half is flat and takes in a wide slice of Bowling Green: downtown streets near the university, an industrial stretch, wooded bike path, a golf course neighborhood, and City Park. Nothing on the route is technical or steep, and the 3 hour course limit is the only real constraint on the back of the field.
Race-day weather
Late August in northwest Ohio is often muggy at a 7:30 start, commonly in the 60s with high humidity. The bike path sections give some shade, but the open road miles heat up quickly once the sun clears the trees.
About the Scouting America Half Marathon
The Erie Shores Council has run this as a council fundraiser since 2009 and deliberately slots it a few weeks ahead of the fall marathon season in Toledo, which is how most of the field uses it. Around 175 runners finish the half in a typical recent year. Entry includes a pancake breakfast that the troops cook and serve after the finish.
