About this race

Pool Run 5K is back for its 7th annual fun run through Over-the-Rhine, ending with a splash in Ziegler Pool!

Join us on Saturday, August 15. Check-in opens at 6:00pm at Ziegler Park, where you can drop your gear, stretch, and hang out before the race (bag check will be available inside the pool area). The 5K begins promptly at 7:00pm, taking you on a scenic, open-course route through the streets of historic OTR. Then comes the best part: crossing the finish line by diving straight into Ziegler Pool—clothes, shoes, and all! We'll have a photographer there to capture every splash-worthy finish.

After everyone makes it in, stick around for the pool party with 200 fellow runners, enjoy your first Fifty West beer or seltzer on us, grab some pizza, and celebrate until 10:00pm.
