Changes to the 2025 Event!

In 2025 there has been a change to the Start/Finish location to the Iron Furnace Trail Run - different from where the race has started from from 2014-2024. The new location is still in Lake Hope State Park, and the majority of the 13.1 Mile course is the same, however, it does alter the original course as well as some of the race details that you may be used to if you participated between 2014-2024. You can read about all the changes, as well as view the new course design at our announcement found at this link: https://www.seotrevents.com/post/changes-to-the-2025-iron-furnace-trail-runs

Description

One of Ohio's hardest half marathons.

2025 will be the 11th Annual running of IFTR!

The Iron Furnace Trail Runs take place at the beautiful Lake Hope State Park and Zaleski State Forest. 13.1 mile runners meander along single-track trails taking in the beautiful views and traversing into the rugged and remote Zaleski State Forest. Along the way runners will be treated with deep gorges, scenic overviews, and rocky outcroppings, and complete what many consider the hardest half marathon in Ohio. 5 mile runners will complete a course of pure singletrack, partly along the lake, and getting a slightly smaller dose of what the half marathoners receive. Whatever distance you choose, you’ll be sure to run on a great course and have a memorable experience at the Iron Furnace!
