About this race

"Does this 0.5k make me look fat? No, your face does."

Tommy Boy Fest took Sandusky by storm in 2025 and won't be back until 2030. BUT, the Fat Guy in a Little Race 0.5k is coming back during the IRONMAN 70.3 Ohio as a "Shake-out Run" for athletes, their families and anyone else that would like to join!

The Fat Guy in a Little Race 0.5k will follow the Tommy Want Wingy Throwdown sponsored by Ability Works. Registration opening soon.

Participants will receive a one-of-a-kind race medal, official race shirt (order yours a size or two smaller!) and race bib for a scenic walk/run through Sandusky. 

The course will start behind a SANDUSKY CITY SCHOOLS BUS in the 100 block of Columbus Avenue and make their way to the Jackson Street Pier. 

Registration is limited to 275 participants and shirt quantities are limited, so get registered now!

Race Day Registration is available as long as there are spots open from 2-2:45 p.m. on the 100 block of Columbus Avenue under the tent.

Tickets are only $31 to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the movie!

This event is sponsored by Erie Blacktop.
