Iron Furnace Trail Run

The Iron Furnace Trail Run is an annual running event held at Lake Hope State Park and Zaleski State Forest in Ohio. Participants can choose between a challenging 13.1-mile half marathon, known for its rugged terrain and scenic views, or a more accessible 4.5-mile course along the lake's shores. The event, which will take place in April 2025, is recognized as one of Ohio's toughest half marathons, featuring single-track trails, deep gorges, and rocky outcroppings.

Runners receive wooden finisher awards, post-race food, and the opportunity to compete for various awards based on their performance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
