On 12 April 2026, the Ohio State 4 Miler returns, starting at 10:00 AM and drawing approximately 13,000 runners and walkers. The course begins outside Ohio Stadium, runs through Columbus streets, and climaxes with a dramatic finish on the 50-yard line of the stadium. In addition to the main 4-mile event, there is a Brutus Bolt Kids Race (half-mile fun run) that also concludes inside the stadium, and a Diamond Cellar VIP experience offering premium amenities and access. All participants receive an official event shirt and finisher’s medal, with free race photos and medal engraving available. The race also includes a tailgate party, spectator zones, and a “Finish On The 50” tradition that adds to the unique experience.
