The race is one of the oldest in the country, but the 10k is not as competitive as other major races.

Beyond the early workout and coming together with family and friends, the race also benefits a number of charities, including Goodwill, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful and the Ronald McDonald House.
Goodwill will also be at the race on race day collecting donations.
The race begins at 9 a.m. on Thursday, but the Pepto Kids Fun Run starts at a.m. outside of Paul Brown Stadium. You can register for the race here.
