The OhioHealth Grandview Yard Half & Quarter Marathon takes place Sunday, August 23, 2026, with all events starting together at 7:00 AM from Ray E. DeGraw Park (850 First Ave., Grandview Heights, Ohio). The Half Marathon (13.1 miles), Quarter Marathon (6.55 miles) and Purple Heart 5K (3.1 miles) all tour Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, Upper Arlington and The Ohio State University before finishing back at DeGraw Park.

The Half Marathon course stays open and fully supported for 3 hours 45 minutes (a 17:10/mile pace). Runners not on that pace at the 8.9-mile mark are rerouted onto an 11-mile course and still receive an Official Finisher's Medal. Refueling stations serve Powerade Endurance Formula and water — eight on the Half course, four on the Quarter course, and one (water only) on the 5K course, with GU Energy Gel available near the 6-mile mark on the Half.

After crossing the line, finishers head to the Giant Eagle Curbside Express Recovery Zone for their medal, Panera bagels, fruit and snacks, then on to the Byers Xtra Mile Finish Line Party and the Diamond Cellar VIP Experience. The Purple Heart 5K benefits the Upper Arlington Community Foundation. Packet pickup runs Friday, August 21 through Saturday, August 22 at Hofbräuhaus Columbus.
