Mainly Marathons Heartland Series (Ohio)
You’ve seen them out on the course. They rarely win, but you always see them out there running, and running and running. And sometimes walking. These events were inspired by and designed for them, and for those who just want to run long and run often.
Whether you want to participate in one marathon, half-marathon, or 5K, pick up a couple of new states in your quest to finish all 50, or you want to take the ultimate challenge and run every race in a series, we encourage you to join us. Walkers are just as welcome as runners: none of our races have a time limit, and you never need to worry about whether you’ll make it before the course support has packed up and gone home. (In fact, we have become famous for celebrating last place in every race with the now-coveted caboose!)
Mainly Marathons puts on a race series like no other, from the unique course setup to the unparalleled spread of food and drinks to fuel you on your journey, all mixed with a sense of fun and family you just won’t find anywhere else.
Course description: Out and back (1.6375 miles total); paved, concrete, very flat
Number of Laps: 8 for half marathon, 16 for full marathon (subject to change)

This is an overall great marathon from the ease of early morning packet pickup (and registration), clean close by porta-pots, to several friendly faces. Don’t let the 16 loops scare ya, it truly is not that bad and allows you to cheer on everyone on course! The aid station is one of the best I have ever seen with so many options for food/drinks. The race directors/ volunteers are extremely helpful, and treat you as if you are part of their family. I would certainly do this (or any Mainly Marathon race) again!

I now have completed 184 marathons and 54 halves. The 12 day series was hard for me because of injury and stomach issues. To say the least I survived the 12. My original plan was 12 full but the end result was 8 x 26 and 4 x 13. That is still a lot of races. This was my 3rd Running Ragged this year which gives me a Triple Crown. 3 belt buckles in a shadow box.
