Homage will be paid to the rich history of The Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic Run and Walk when the event is held for the 37th time on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25, in Wheeling, West Virginia. The race committee again has labeled the Ogden Classic as a "destination weekend" for runners and walkers throughout the United States. While Saturday is the big day for the Half Marathon and 5K runs and walks, the festivities actually get under way Friday, May 25, with a full slate of activities. The Friday schedule begins at 6:45 p.m. with the Ogden Tiny Tot Trot, sponsored by Ohio Valley Parent Magazine. This event welcomes youngsters ages 5 and under to take part in a dash to the finish line over the last 100 yards of the Half Marathon course.
