Welcome to the information page for the ONU Polar Bear Indoor Marathon and Half Marathon at Ohio Northern University's Sports Center in Ada, Ohio. We are excited to be able to host this event, which benefits the ONU cross country and track & field teams.

Course:

The course will be 211 laps for the marathon and 105.5 laps for the half marathon on the indoor, 200-meter track in the field house in the ONU Sports Center. Every 30 minutes, runners will change directions after finishing their current lap. While you may be able to watch the snow falling through the glass walls, the conditions for the race will be comfortable and dry.

Awards:

The first male and female finisher in each race distance will receive an award. There will be no age-group awards due to the small field size. Unfortunately, runners cannot use their time from an indoor marathon to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
